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.
