Bulletproof Your Job: 4 Simple Strategies to Ride Out the Rough Times and Come Out on Top at Work, by Stephen Viscusi. 2008.

I picked up this book in the Reno airport on my way to enjoy that long summer vacation and was pleasantly surprised at how readable and helpful I found Viscusi’s suggestions.

As an executive job search expert, Viscusi knows what it takes in the hard, cold reality of today’s work world to avoid that speeding bullet of the layoff notice.

So, whether you work for someone else or have your own business as I do, this book is stuffed with concrete practical actions that you can take today to ensure that you are the “indispensable employee” that the company most needs during these difficult economic times.
