Description
Book Synopsis
The Empowered Job Search is not your typical job search book. Our starting point isn't with cover letters or resumes, but YOU. Because the process can feel so disempowering, we help you develop the psychological tools to manage your emotions and build an empowered mindset to have true agency in your search.
You'll discover powerful tools to navigate every step of your job search, from setting up your daily schedule and clarifying your ideal work, to creating a one-of-a-kind resume and cover letter. The book also includes interview tips, how to negotiate your offer, a framework for making difficult decisions, and how to start your new job from a place of power. Our approach is based in both theory and practice: we draw on positive psychology, Buddhist principles, and Nonviolent Communication, as well as our leadership and career coaching work with thousands of clients.
At its core, The Empowered Job Search is a call to action to humanize the job search and create a better work world. We hope that you not only get a great new job, but also feel inspired to create a more compassionate, creative, and equitable workplace.
Review Quotes
"Full of powerful and practical exercises on each page, every professional should read this book. Like seeing a therapist for your career."
- Adam Smiley Poswolsky, author of The Quarter-Life Breakthrough and Friendship in the Age of Loneliness
"It is a great book!" - Nigel Paine, Author of The Learning Challenge, Building Leadership Development Programmes that Work and Workplace Learning: How to Build a Culture of Continuous Employee Development
"The book effectively allows people to design a process that makes them the producer, director, and lead character in their career adventure. It puts you, the candidate, in the center of the job-seeking process, not the job. Doing so empowers you positively and focuses on seeking a job that allows you to bring the best version of yourself to the table. The book is helpful for HR managers too." - Raghu Krishnamoorthy, Former Chief Human Resources Officer at GE, Author, Speaker and Thought Leader
