New Work Options

New Work Options: How to keep your career buoyant in turbulent times

Over recent years many changes have taken place in the workplace, and the security of a nine-to-five job for life is a thing of the past.  It is an unsettling picture, but there are new – and often exciting – ways of working for the future.

In this definitive guide, Christine Ingham makes clear what the new work options are and how you can use them to work for you, not against you.  She includes vital advice about:
  • short-term contract work
  • job sharing
  • self-employment
  • teleworking
  • co-operatives
  • community businesses
  • voluntary work
  • working abroad

By taking advantage of these new opportunities it is possible to create a secure future for yourself – and to find greater fulfilment in your working life.

“… showing a great many people the way forward – how they can come out of the redundo-jungle.”  Derek Jameson, The Jamesons, BBC Radio 2
Christine says:
“The 1990s saw great upheavals in the jobs market for everyone.  Employment was thrown into disarray with permanent, full-time jobs for life seeming to become the exception rather than the norm.  As the confusion progressed there were many career casualties.

New Work Options was written in response; to provide an overview of those changing times.  It aimed to help people navigate their way through while considering the new work options which were opening up to them.

Being a timely publication,
New Work Options attracted media attention with the BBC’s Derek Jameson and his wife inviting me to guest on their Radio 2 programme: The Jamesons.

The world of work is still an unsettled and confusing place.  As such, there continues to be a place for books like
New Work Options to help people survive it and see it as less so.”
