The 'warning signs' would have saved me hitting several 'bumps' in my career road. Very useful read!" -Susan Whiting, CEO, Nielsen Media "This book is unique in that it provides insightful and useful help for those faced with or considering mid career change. Packed with pragmatic advice as well as tremendous tools to assist in doing a self assessment and planning career changes.

Why would that be any different as we are trying to manage our careers?" -Ulrike Hildebrand General Manager, Human Resources Mercedes-Benz USA "Janice Reals Ellig and Bill Morin have done it again. For anyone whose career could use an overhaul-or even just a tune-up-Driving the Career Highway is a must-read.

This is a valuable road map of the new career highways." -Professor Edward E. Lawler, III, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California and Author of Built to Change "The prospect of a job search change or a career change can be a frightening experience, especially for those in mid-career. Reals Ellig and Morin provide simple and straight forward tips for how to make career transitions more manageable and successful." -Charles Tharp, Ph.D., Professor Human Resource Management, Rutgers University "When career change occurs-especially when it's not of our choosing-even the smartest and most successful of us struggle with how to cope and survive.
