Synopsis

Turn losing your job into an epic comeback with this unfiltered, comprehensive GPS guide to rebuilding your career on your terms.

So, you got fired, laid off, restructured, canned. Welcome to the club, baby! In today’s seismically changing job market, getting fired doesn’t automatically mean you failed; it’s a rite of passage.

With their decades of experience in high-stakes leadership roles, Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill know firsthand the challenges—and thrilling opportunities—that come with losing a job, no matter where you are in your career. They’ve been through the shock, grief, anger, and confusion, and they’re here to help you navigate the experience. All the Cool Girls Get Fired is both a roadmap and a mindset shift—a pragmatic, empowering and humorous way to make lemonade from lemons.

With candor, humor, actionable advice, and exclusive “I’ve been there,” interviews from inspirational women, All the Cool Girls Get Fired challenges outdated corner office perceptions of career success. From coping mechanisms and self-care practices to networking strategies and reinvention techniques, the book is a comprehensive GPS to navigate the path of career recovery and bounce back with more professional mojo than ever.
