"Solidly grounded in scholarship, Robinson-Easley urges readers to become the principal change agents for their careers. Her proactive and visionary approach is sorely needed since the ´career´ game has shifted. Gone is yesteryear´s ´company man´ career situated in a paternalistic and seniority-based organization, characterized by steady and predictable progression up the hierarchy, culminating in the certainty of retirement. Today´s workplace ´free agency´ model is entrepreneurial, necessitating high agency, resulting in multiple cross-functional, lateral, and external career moves, culminating in myriad outcomes. This book makes plain the new game and implores jobseekers to get on their ´A-game´ by setting their own strategies and calling their own plays a quick and most necessary read." - J. Goosby Smith, Associate Professor, Pepperdine University, USA

"Dr. Easley´s inspirational words, call for self-reflection, and practical advice on positioning one´s self in today´s challenging job market will boost you above the rest. Her positivity and determination leap from the pages and will inspire the reader to action!" - Laryssa J. Lavender, Director of Residence Life & Community Standards, Quincy University, USA

"A refreshingly candid, lucid exposition of the realities of today´s global employment landscape. This is a highly recommended read for scholars, practitioners, employers, and employees who will find the book filled with information and insight as well as practical tools and tips." - Tracy Elazier, Program Chair, DeVry University, USA
