Covid Isn't Working and Other 21st Century Career Calamities

Once upon a time, Peter Varley was an accomplished communications guy. He won a national broadcasting award at age 26. He went on to work with a bunch of very senior politicians. Then a global consulting firm. Then a prestigious professional regulatory body. Then a huge government agency. On the side he wrote opinion pieces online and for major newspapers. This was all good.

But then, with the dawn of the 2020s, the man couldn't find a job to save his life. Why? Well, he had some guesses, but they all pointed to things he was powerless to change. So he resolved to reinvent himself once again - this time as an author/memoirist.You're looking at the result right now. All because for millions of people just like him out there in the age of Covid, rapid cultural change and other turmoil, trying new tricks looks to be the only way out.

In Covid Isn't Working and Other 21st Century Career Calamities, Varley retraces the path his life took to wind up in his current pickle, to try and understand how it suddenly got so rocky. This may all sound familiar to many of you...

The good news? There are smiles and lessons aplenty along the way.

So come along: If you too are feeling down about your prospects, you may also come to see your life as worth more than the sum of its chapters.
