Generation Drift: Why We're Up Career Creek and How to Paddle Home

By Josh Roberts

Book Overview

Everyone can escape career creek. All they need is the right paddle.

In 2012 Josh Roberts left university with a head full of dreams and a heart full of hope.

The world - and in particular the world of work - was his oyster. He was going to get a brilliant job, enjoy a challenging, purposeful career and get stinking rich in the process. Fast forward a decade, though, and success hasn't been quite so easy. Unless you count six jobs in six years, a string of failed 'side hustles' and having a mental breakdown as 'success'. No, like millions of other young workers, Josh spent his twenties drifting aimlessly through his career before resolving, on the eve of his twenty-eighth birthday, to make a change.

Which is what Generation Drift is all about. Told with warmth and wit - and brimming with advice from CEOs, recruiters, psychologists and fellow 'drifters' - it's a hopeful, helpful guide to navigating professional uncertainty and finding fulfilling work. This book will share the tools and signposts you need to look to the future with a positive view. Generation Drift is Josh's optimistic, reassuring and practical guide to navigating professional uncertainty and finding fulfilling work.
