Bait & Switch by Barbara Ehrenreich
Here Ehrenreich tries to land a middle class white collar job, much as she tried to live on minimum wage in Nickel and Dimed. The similar format has her creating a new identity to try to land that great job. I really like her writing style, but for some reason this book didn’t keep my interest. It’s a timely subject, but maybe it’s too depressing that so many highly educated people can’t find work. One fascinating part is about all the “networking” & “leadership” seminars that she attends. I kept thinking of snake oil salesman as I read these parts. If you’re out of work & your misery loves company, you should read this book
