Buy the book - Rebuilding your life after redundancy
NEW - 2009 editionWhen it comes to information about redundancy, we know that not everyone has access to the internet or perhaps a computer for long enough periods to go through everything on the site, so that's why we published "Rebuilding your life after redundancy - The New Life Network Handbook" by Janet Davies, founder and editor of www.newlifenetwork.co.uk.
The book is a conveniently sized paperback and costs just £10.99 plus p&p.
It also makes an excellent staff support resource for HR or Personnel Departments, Job Centres, Outplacement Resource Centres, or for Public or Further Education Libraries. There is reference copy available in the member libraries of The Chartered Institute of Personnel Development and the Chartered Institute of Management.

Book Reviews
"After receiving the shock of being told I was to be made redundant following 9 years in a company I purchased this book. I have not looked back! It is so motivational I could not put it down and I read it in a day, then went back and re-read it again this time doing all the exercises over the next week. I am so excited to be faced with so many options that I had not thought of. Forget paying £thousands on careers counselling - buy this book instead and save the money. My copy is now filled with sticky notes and highlighted parts and I now realise the world is my oyster!" amazon.co.uk customer

Great for career changers too
"If you need a book that will put redundancy into perspective, give some sensible advice and guidance, provide follow-up resources and contacts and do all this without being patronising - this is it. A good-value alternative to the sometimes overbearing world of outplacers, agencies and financial advisers, It's also useful if you want to change career or jump out of your box."

Road map to the future
"Janet Davies's book reads like a road map from redundancy to finding a new future. She's done meticulous research, and there are valuable pointers in it on the legal problems, the financial headaches, and the daunting challenges of setting up your own business, along with advice on networking and writing CV's in the search for a new job. And best of all - she never sounds dejected! Put it this way - a tenner spent on this book would be better spent than several thousand pounds in the pockets of some employment agency". J A Taylor, amazon
Does what it says on the tin!
"Having met Janet I can see why the book goes down so well. Janet has a real talent for taking the stigma and stress away from redundancy and makes the reader feel like they have been given a chance to change the direction of their working life completely with a few easy steps and actions...it does what it says on the tin!! (*****)" Emma Hackforth, Matchsticks Coaching
