Barbara Ehrenreich is for sure a flaming liberal and that powers certain comments she makes in the book I'm sure (white collar corporate workers have no dignity?). Putting aside those kinds of comments, if you want to know what job searching is like for white collar workers this book describes it perfectly. Written in 2005 it is just as applicable now as it was then. I just spent 11 months looking for a job - trust me on this one. From useless career coaches to the futility of networking with other unemployed people she strikes the perfect tone of irony and compassion. Sure she starts from the point of view of an anti-corporate socialist, but her description of trying to find a job in today's America is dead on. I liked this one so much I listened to it twice back to back. I'm And if you're currently unemployed, this book serves to remind you of that one very important thing: it's really not you personally that is being rejected despite the fact that is how it feels.
