Summary
A leading workplace expert provides an inspirational， practical， and forward-looking career playbook for recent grads， career changers， and transitioning professionals looking to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving workplace。
Covid-19 has heightened career uncertainty in a work landscape dominated by turbulence and change， and it is directly impacting how people are entering—or re-entering—the workplace。 But as Lindsey Pollak makes clear， the pandemic merely accelerated career and hiring trends that have been building。 Changes that were once slowly spreading have been rapidly implemented across all industries。
This means that the old job hunting and career success rules no longer apply。 Job seekers of all generations and skill sets must learn how to thrive in this “new normal，” which will include a hybrid of remote and in-person experiences， increased reliance on virtual communication and automation， constant disruption， and renewed employer emphasis on workers’ health and well-being。
While this new world is complicated and constantly evolving， you won’t have to navigate it alone。 For twenty years， Pollak has been following the trends and successfully advising young professionals and organizations on workplace success。 Now， she guides you through the changes currently happening—and those to come。 Combining insights from both experts and professionals across generations， she provides encouraging， strategic， and actionable advice on making lifelong decisions about education; building a resilient personal brand; using virtual communication to remotely interview， network， and work; skilling and reskilling for the future; and maintaining self-care and mental health。
Like your personal GPS， Pollak equips you to handle workplace obstacles， helping you see them as challenges to navigate rather than impossible roadblocks。 There is no perfect path to a dream career， but with Recalculating you’ll be prepared with the necessary skills and tools to succeed。

Recalculating is an incredibly insightful read for anyone feeling lost in their career， amidst the pandemic， which I’m willing to bet is pretty much everyone right now！I really enjoyed this book because it’s not preachy。 Lindsey is a very down-to-earth writer which makes it feel like you’re talking to a friend， who just so happens to have some very great career advice。 I really appreciated the short yet punchy chapters that incorporated advice and stories from a variety of people。 Also， the exer Recalculating is an incredibly insightful read for anyone feeling lost in their career， amidst the pandemic， which I’m willing to bet is pretty much everyone right now！I really enjoyed this book because it’s not preachy。 Lindsey is a very down-to-earth writer which makes it feel like you’re talking to a friend， who just so happens to have some very great career advice。 I really appreciated the short yet punchy chapters that incorporated advice and stories from a variety of people。 Also， the exercises at the end of each chapter are very helpful too。 It’s not one of those books you read and then have to figure out your action plan on your own。 Recalculating is the perfect blend of advice and action and as a career strategist， I will be recommending it to my clients and online audience。（Thank you so much to the author， Lindsey， for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review。） 。。。more

As a graduating college student， I've been discouraged because I haven't found a job yet。 This book's advice inspired me。 There are， in particular， two key components that I love about Recalculating。 A） it reminded me that success/finding your niche takes time; B） it gave me ideas on how to put myself out there and improve my chances at landing a job。 There are so many exercises， scenario planning examples， and quick tips throughout the chapters。 I'm also really big on quotes！ Here's one that re As a graduating college student， I've been discouraged because I haven't found a job yet。 This book's advice inspired me。 There are， in particular， two key components that I love about Recalculating。 A） it reminded me that success/finding your niche takes time; B） it gave me ideas on how to put myself out there and improve my chances at landing a job。 There are so many exercises， scenario planning examples， and quick tips throughout the chapters。 I'm also really big on quotes！ Here's one that really stuck out to me （p。 56）: "When you identify your self-worth by your job， you are setting yourself up for disappointment anytime you see someone surpassing you。 But by defining your career as a diverse portfolio of time and talent investments you make to bring value to the world， you can hedge against the painful moments of feeling behind in some areas" - Nihar ChhayaAll in all: 10/10。 。。。more

Another stellar and timely piece of writing from Lindsey！ Whether you are early， mid or late（er） in your career， change is the only certainty。 Recalculating: Navigate Your Career Through the Changing World of Work is a career coach wrapped up in a book。 Lindsay serves up unspoken truths about the job market， numerous examples of “recalculators，” and offers practical and actionable advice to traverse the inevitable detours that will occur in one’s career。

If you had a GenXer writing the definitive career advice book for the 21st Century on your bingo card， YOU WIN！。For those of us who never figured out the color of their parachute-or why they even need a parachute， Pollak's latest will give you all of the answers you need about the modern job search。 "Recalculating: Navigate Your Career Through the Changing World of Work" is well written and engaging with practical advice and relatable exercises （assignments？） to ensure job seekers are able to im If you had a GenXer writing the definitive career advice book for the 21st Century on your bingo card， YOU WIN！。For those of us who never figured out the color of their parachute-or why they even need a parachute， Pollak's latest will give you all of the answers you need about the modern job search。 "Recalculating: Navigate Your Career Through the Changing World of Work" is well written and engaging with practical advice and relatable exercises （assignments？） to ensure job seekers are able to implement her advice in their job searchWritten for "recaluclators" with the pandemic as the backdrop， Pollak's book is equally valuable for "precedented times" and job seekers at all levels。 As my 2-page Resume will attest， I don't agree with Pollak on everything， or as I will now phrase it after reading her book， Pollak doesn't agree with me on all the issues。。。yet （95% isn’t bad）。 It is clear， however that all of her assertions are well developed and cogently argued。This book is a must read for job seekers at any career stage as well as for my Career Services colleagues who want to stay on top of the latest career trends and advice。After reading her book， I personally plan to pursue a career opportunity I have been avoiding。Your first career assignment-buy this book！ 。。。more
