Book Description

24 Aug 2011

Employment is changing! Fewer of us have full-time jobs with final salary pensions, and the former assumption that if you studied hard you would get the job of your dreams no longer holds. Work It Out! will help you gain the skills, aptitude and confidence to adapt and prosper in this new world of work - whatever your age or background.

Rather than devoting all your time to one job - often to the exclusion of other interests - Work It Out! shows you how to find and create individual pieces of work with the help of personal contacts, the internet and other resources, and use these workpieces to build a career. But this book is about far more than the process of working to earn money. It provides a template for making work fit into your life, providing an income and financial security, but also accommodating the needs of your family and relationships, and satisfying your personal ambitions. Let it guide you in creating a life that is truly fulfilling!

5.0 out of 5 stars Living the dream! 12 Sep 2011
Format:Paperback
'Jobs for life' are indeed long gone. The last few decades have seen us rooted in no-man's land, rue-ing the loss of security, while unable to fully appreciate, and exploit, the true benefits of the brave new world of the 21st century. `Work It Out!' will propel you forcibly out of the wilderness. Keep your mind open and your outlook flexible and prepare to design yourself a life which aligns with your personal values, capitalises on your strengths and puts you in control, now and forever more.

Sceptics take heed. I'd never heard of `Work It Out!' before I picked up the book, yet I am the very embodiment of a `Work It Out!' practitioner! My workpieces include (in no particular order): wife and mum of 2,educator, executive coach, parent governor, writer, entrepreneur, speaker, pro-bono mentor and erstwhile stand up comedian. I outsource, I barter my services and I've built a business from a virtual network. And just in case you're wondering, I've matched my corporate salary from my previous life!

And the best thing about all of this? It has been created by me, to my own design, and will forever evolve to meet my needs and aspirations.
If `Work It Out!' had been around when I started out 6 years ago, I would have got there quicker. But either way, I'm convinced that `Work It Out!' is the way forward - in some shape or form, for us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book could change your life!!!! 19 Nov 2012
Format:Paperback
My son recommended this book to me and I'm glad he did.

This book could literally change your life. It is well written in an easy to read, non arrogant "I know everything style" that normally puts me off reading books of this genre.

The author simply states his views and let's you the reader decide which pieces of his advice you want and which you don't necessarily agree fully with. I must admit though I found myself agreeing with most of what the author said and the book definitely looks at life in a similar way that I have for several years but has given me a whole new vocabulary for what i was thinking plus help me focus further on it without the guilt so to speak of believing in what for many would see as an unconventional way of looking at what "work" is and how we spend our most valued resource i.e. our TIME!!!

I would be very interested in hearing other views on Des McCabes book as well as on how Des's own views may have evolved since receiving feedback on his book.

The only small omission I can think of in Des's book is that it would have been interesting and informative to his readers (outside Ireland and Britain) to have devoted a chapter to an international perspective on " work it out!" not just in terms of Africa but evolving countries like China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil etc

Overall the book is a very enjoyable and thought provoking read and I will definitely be recommending it to several of my friends and to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book opened my eyes... 12 Sep 2011
Format:Paperback
Although I am a full time carer I do have some time on my hands and am keen to do some paid work. Having read this book I now realise that there were many areas of job hunting I was not considering. `Work It Out!' has really opened my eyes to many more options and given me the inspiration to examine these options in detail. I would recommend this book to all full time carers especially but generally with the lapse of the one big job for life...we all need to be more creative finding work!.
