Finally, a very practical job-search book for introverts! After 10 minutes into this book, I was jumping up to make changes to my resume and LinkedIn profile. There are so many tips to make the whole process less stressful and more effective. They helped me get my dream job! If you're an introvert, grab your blanket & a cup of tea, sit in your favorite chair ... and start reading!
I wanted to skim through the book first, and found myself stopping often to actually read it. So interesting!
A hands-on book with excellent exercises that really answers your questions about your aptitudes, capabilities, strategies and most importantly your career. Very well structured, each chapter complementing the other offering more pieces to the puzzle in a unique and efficient way. I wish someone taught me these strategies in high school: what works, what doesn't, what is a great fit for each individual personality. What I learned helped me tremendously with my job search ... and ended up getting that great job!
I am not an introvert, but I am the father of one. I chose this book to help my daughter transition from college to job-seeking. I wanted to be able to guide her with better questions and try to understand some of the things she would be facing. I cannot recommend this book enough for introverts and those with them in their lives. However, DON'T limit yourself if you think you are not an introvert. There are extremely valuable lessons on job seeking here, no matter who you are. It is solid all around. I found myself looking at my recent job search and seeing mistakes I made along the way. I was utterly shocked by the quality of the advice here. Not only do I now feel even better about my job hunting prowess, but I also gained insight into what it has been like and will be like for my daughter. This one deserves a reread/relisten with pen in hand and a hard copy for note-taking. Job seekers of any kind will not regret this purchase.
Rich, intelligent, enlightening, engaging, and valuable for (not only) the introverted job seeker. What makes this book stand out is its unique fusion of concepts, techniques, exercises and real life examples. Its conversational style will keep you hooked from the first paragraph to the last. Under Gabriela's professional advice, you will embark on a journey that will take you through the fundamental aspects that make an effective job search. I guarantee you too, will end up learning valuable skills to enhance your life! If all my introverted clients read this book, our collaborations may prove even more fruitful!
