HIRED, FIRED, FLED: One Man’s Global Quest To Beat The Rat Race
HIRED, FIRED, FLED is the calamitous tale of an average graduate who crashed through fourteen jobs in fifteen years, as he searched for the holy grail of the working world: a job to love.Wrongly accused of sleeping with the boss’s wife was a bad start, and things only got worse for Charlie Raymond as the film industry lured him in, kicking off a desperate struggle to succeed. His global quest bounced him through Africa, Europe, North America, and the Middle East, serving soup in Italy, witnessing 9/11, eating his way into A&E, and risking hypothermia in Canada, as he took increasingly desperate measures to prove his path right.HIRED, FIRED, FLED is the story of trying to ‘make it’ in the 21st Century. This humorous memoir will entertain and enlighten, revealing the oddities of life as an escapist expat, while striking a chord with anyone who’s ever dreamed of loving their work… and beating the rat race.
Revealing the challenges and opportunities of the working world, this tale is packed with crucial, need-to-know career tips, such as: how to resign in the rudest way possible, how to bypass corporate ‘gatekeepers’, and how to cope with a boss who thinks you’ve slept with his wife!
Charlie Raymond’s extreme career path – via 7 countries, 4 continents, and 14 jobs – was sparked by trying to answer the ultimate question:
‘What should I be doing with my days on Earth?’
This book is the result, and was written with himself in mind, aged 17 ½, as he wrestled with that baffling, life-changing conundrum; yet HIRED, FIRED, FLED is intended to entertain and inspire people of all ages, whether beginning their careers, desperate for change, happy at work, or taking off for a sun-lounger in the Med.
“Informative and entertaining in equal measures, HIRED, FIRED, FLED will have you hooked from the very first page.” – Kaye Holland, TNT Magazine UK
