Authors Candice Reed and Kitty Martini tell it like it is in their new book, Thank You for Firing Me! How to Catch the Next Wave of Success After You Lose Your Job. Reed and Martini consider themselves 'anti-career experts' because they don't want you to get any old job this time around, they want you to get a
life as well! Humor, chutzpah and creative opportunities
comprise this informative survival guide to help you to catch the wave and ride the pipeline to new opportunities.
Candice Reed Candice's successful writing career has spanned over 20 years.
Before her career in journalism, she lost jobs as an insurance
salesperson, a funeral director, a singing/dancing waitress and an
ice-cream binging weight-loss counselor. Currently, she is a freelance journalist, creates blogs for credit unions, dabbles in
copywriting and speechwriting, and once owned her own successful public
relations firm. Reed has also been a
ghostwriter for a former president, which she really can't talk
about. Reed has published more than 5000 business features, personal
essays and travel articles in newspapers and magazines including; The
New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Christian Science
Monitor. Reed recently took her own advice and sold her expensive
California home and moved to a cabin on Lake Chelan in Washington so she could enjoy life in the new economy.
Kitty Martini Kitty is a stand-up comedian and an expert on being
fired. Martini has been
hired, fired and downsized numerous times. To "recession proof"
herself, Martini developed and sold four businesses. Martini
has contributed articles to a variety of magazines including, Cosmopolitan and Penthouse. She is the author of two humor
books; 'The Trouble With Men' and 'Goatina Goes to New York',
illustrated by syndicated cartoonist, Rina Piccolo. Martini performs
stand-up comedy in clubs nationwide and special events joking about how
she survives the game of being downsized.
