Weird in a World That's Not

A Career Guide for Misfits, F*ckups, and Failures

By: Jennifer Romolini

Narrated by: Em Eldridge

An honest, sharp-witted, practical guide to help you get and keep the job you want—from an outsider whose been there and done it, a woman who went from being a broke, divorced, college dropout to running some of the biggest websites in the world.

Jennifer Romolini started her career as an awkward twenty-seven-year-old misfit, navigated her way through New York media and became a boss—an editor-in-chief, an editorial director, and a vice president—all within little more than a decade. Her book, Weird In A World That’s Not, asserts that being outside-the-norm and achieving real, high-level success are not mutually exclusive, even if the perception of the business world often seems otherwise, even if it seems like only office-politicking extroverts are set up for reward.

Part career memoir, part real-world guide, Weird in a World That’s Not offers relatable advice on how to achieve your dreams, even when the odds seem stacked against you. Romolini helps you face down your fears, find a career that’s right for you, and get and keep a job. She tackles practical issues and offers empathetic, clear-cut answers to important questions:

• How do I navigate the awkwardness of networking?
• How do I deal with intense office politics?
• How do I leave my crappy job?
• How do I learn how to be a boss not just a #boss?
• And, most importantly: How do I do all this and stay true to who I really am?

Authentic, funny, and moving, Weird in a World That’s Not will help you tap into your inner tenacity and find your path, no matter how offbeat you are.

Genius

Memorable, touching and actually useful.
I fell in love with her story and how she uses real experiences to show us the right way through this new endeavor.

A Career Guide that Delivers

Jennifer Romolini delivers on her promise of a career guide for those of us that don't fit the more traditional business / motivational books out there. Her book is both personal and practical. The narration by Em Eldridge is excellent as well.

Wow must relatable book to everyone.

Im guy and this book is definitely meant and geared towards women. Nevertheless the author absolutely nailed this book as a must read for everyone. Especially women, especially young people, and especially everyone of all types. Out of all the books I’ve read and listen to in the self help motivational way this is by far hands down the most relatable worth every penny book ever. Also can’t say enough about the narrator. She nailed ever pitch and tone. Maybe this one of the most enjoyable books to listen to. This is the only book I’ve ever given 5 stars to across the board. This book is wow.

Weird in a World That's Not

This book was referred to me (I was skeptical at first) and it did not disappoint! An inspiration for every aspect of your life- not simply your career!
