50 Ways To Find A Job offers invaluable advice on how to navigate the job market and find a job that with a mission that speaks to the job seeker. But it doesn’t stop there. It gives the reader the opportunity to go deeper and consider work as an extension of life – not merely a means to an end to pay bills. In the gig economy, more of us are experiencing a non-linear career path. It affords us the opportunities to be life-long learners, but our resumes don’t always make sense to employers. 50 Ways To Find A Job addresses this head on by encouraging those of us who have traversed through several industries to figure out the larger narrative that has shaped our professional choices to make sense to hiring managers. I highly recommend this book to any professional looking for a courageous path forward.- Shana Dressler, Former Executive Director of Google’s 30 Weeks

Bite-sized, practical ideas on how to re-think career goals - I'm buying copies for mid-career friends
A helpful, practical little book on not just "getting a job" but on how to re-think your career goals including work-life balance. I'm going to buy a few copies for a career counsellor and a friend who is contemplating a career change.The book is wide ranging and includes sections such as finding your purpose, learning new skills, and applying for jobs. I particularly liked the section on networking which includes chapters such as "map a network" and "reconnect with five mentors from your past". Helpful tips in today's world when word-of-mouth and personal connections are a far more effective way to land a job than the bygone era when we sent resumes blindly into the night. The chapters are short and sweet (just a few pages each) with bite-sized exercises to nudge one towards catalyzing action.In addition to the print copy, I bought the audiobook through Audible and liked the narration style.

Rethinking how we see the job market!
This book couldn't have been written at a better time! Just by reading the first few pages I know this will be a huge help in establishing an enjoyable and meaningful career as I graduate from university in a month. Like Dev says 'The job market has completely changed', and this book is the solution for the new generation in figuring out how succeed in entering the working world.

A new, innovative way to search for a job
What a useful and different job finding book! I really liked the approach to analyzing what works best for you, instead of just using the old tried-and-true methods of job searching. The part about trying to understand your own rhythm of working and leisure was really useful. Why don't people ever point out that certain times of your life (when you have a young family or are going through hard stuff) might dictate that you have a job with a slower rhythm?Another great idea? Record yourself in a stressful situation. Actually record yourself with your phone. Then you can listen to it later and realize that you really sounded pretty OK - not the total disaster that you had imagined.These are really useful, concrete, positive methods of changing your life by finding the job that's just right for you.
