The latest career advice, all in one convenient place
Found Lindsey Pollak upon the release of her last book, The Remix, which covered adapting and adopting a growth mindset in a multigenerational workforce. Her latest release, Recalculating, is the result of the mother of all pivots during the "unprecedented" year of 2020. After all the career workshops I've attended and all the advice I've picked up on various career advice sites, I feel like this book pulls the best of all the latest wisdom together in one easy to read volume. Definitely appreciate the advice on the new normal of applicant tracking systems, virtual interviewing and building/revamping one's brand in a constantly changing world. One read won't be enough; you'll want to hang on to your copy as a reference.

Super-charged pep-talk with real actionable steps! A MUST READ!!
I first heard Lindsey Pollack on a webinar and even though I normally don't buy books, I have decided to buy this one... and have since bought it for 3 other friends!I have been on a career break taking care of kids and I have recently decided I am ready to return to the workforce. I have read many books on this topic and found that they left me as perplexed about what to do as when I started. Once I picked up this book, I could not put it down! It is more than a massive pep talk... it has actionable steps that are within reach that anyone can do.What a difference it has made in my outlook and prospects! I have reached out to previous colleagues, tapped into existing networks, changed my outlook and I am now scheduling 2-3 networking calls a day! My confidence is hugely improved and this book was a big part of it!

Pollak did it again. On point and perfectly timed.
This is the third book by Pollak I've read and the one's I've missed are on my reading list. She writes just as she talks (I've seen her on a few morning shows) which is to say, the writing is conversational, clear, concise, well-researched.Every time I open one of her books it feels like time well-spent. Like many others, I'm trying to find my way back into the (nearly) post-COVID freelance work space and RECALCULATING feels like a cheat code. I'm still completing the workbook-style questions in Chapter 3 where I'm asked to rethink my career story. Pollak asks readers to consider aspects of themselves that I just wouldn't have considered without having read the book.Get this one. Read all of Pollak. It's great stuff.
