Say Goodbye to the Suit and Tie Ike Bushkin

All was going well in the prime of my career. Job security was always something important to me and I thought I had it with my dream company who said: "Bushkin, we love you and you have a job here forever."

Then times changed, the economy changed, and the forever job ended. I found myself in limbo for a short period of time and when I finally got over the shock of it, I dusted myself off and regrouped, hitting some bumps-big and small-along the way.

Does this sound familiar? Has this happened to you? Has the industry you spent most of your working life in dried up? Has your company downsized and you got lost in the fallout? Then read on.

Restarting a career over the age of 55 is no easy task, but it can be done. Say Goodbye to the Suit and Tie is my story. It's my proof to you that it can happen-that you can start over-you just need to be open-minded and flexible. If you find yourself in the same boat this book may just be the life preserver you are looking for to help you get back on dry land and forge ahead a little faster.

It helped me to write this book, so it may help you to read it. If you pick up one good piece of advice from this book, then it was worth the read. Enjoy the journey.
