Helpful, Empathetic, Realistic

Thank you, Rob, for a deeply felt and sincerely helpful guide to the job search. Your passion and knowledge on the subject is clear.

If you're not sure you need this book, you need it

Rob delivers pragmatic advice based on his personal experiences. The advice is real, straightforward, no BS, and easy to follow not only what to do but why to do it. A great listen if you are exploring new opportunities.

Best career book, ever.

Loved this book and the narration. Sage advice and a conversational delivery that will lead you to your next best job.

100% worth your time if you are in the job search

Rob's perspective is on-target and feels like a drink of fresh water in the chaffing experience of a job search. There are a few fantastic takeaways that you really should hear from his perspective. I will share a couple of points here: 1) Be clear on your North Star (it's been a few weeks since my listen, so I won't say more than that 2) Write a cover letter that shows you understand the company, role, how your skills line-up and your passion for the job! You might think this takes too long -- but if you are clear on your target -- this is how you will get a shot at an interview. 3) Don't sit back and wait for HR; do what you need to do to get your shot! Again, it's been a few weeks since my listen, and I will return to this title again. It is an instant job-hunt classic. -JP

Best Job Inspiration

I loved both the practical advice that includes specific steps for updating your LinkedIn profile, resume, crafting the perfect cover letter and creating a list of target companies. The book also includes advice on salary negotiation which I will have to listen to again when I get a job offer. I also enjoyed the inspiration advice, as it’s so easy to feel lost during a time when you’re in between jobs.
