Fired? Rejected? Stuck?

Maybe you were retrenched, or you graduated into silence, or your job pays less than your transport costs. You are scared, perhaps ashamed, and the savings are running down. You do not need a pep talk. You need a plan.

Fired? Rejected? Stuck? starts exactly where you are. You begin with financial triage, listing what you have, what you owe, and what you need. Then you identify skills you can sell within thirty days, use a seven-day launchpad to get moving, and aim for your first R5,000 online. The book covers getting paid when you need money now, managing money during a crisis, and moving from emergency income to something sustainable.

You will think about building income that no single employer can take away, and finish with a 90-day recovery plan. It is written for South Africans in career crisis, and for the parents or partners supporting them. The focus is on practical steps, one week at a time, not on promises.
