In 2005, long before this current recession, I was inspired by Andrew Taylor’s Sunday Times column about redundancy ‘Aftershock’ to set up a free and independent online career advice resource for people who had been made redundant; people who needed to reappraise their career opportunities and rebuild their lives as a result – newlifenetwork.co.uk.
In 2006 I wrote a book ‘Rebuilding your life after redundancy’ that has gone on to become a best seller on amazon. It was revised and republished again in 2009 and is still the most authoritative book available on that topic.
Today, anyone who needs to reinvent their career will find a wealth of advice and links to great resources from finding a new job to setting up a business. The website is free to use and has been accessed by literally hundreds of thousands of people over the past five years.
