Your Work Life As A Serial

Atria Books

Once upon a time, you got a job, someone showed you to your desk, and you got to work... for YEARS. 

The days of people sticking 25 or even five years at one job appear to be behind us, largely because of economic forces. 

Award-winning journalist Farai Chideya noticed examples of the trend over and over while reporting other projects. 

So she turned her attention squarely to the world of work in her book The Episodic Career.  As the title suggests, it's about navigating the new work place(s), in which moving on to the next job happens more often.  The author shares her findings.
