FINDING A JOB THAT LOVES YOU BACK by Carly Inkpen, Justin Wright and Tad Mayer

UNITED STATES, May 1, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- As the country enters another recession and finding employment becomes more and more difficult, this new book is sure to resonate with readers. In Finding a Job That Loves You Back, authors Carly Inkpen, Justin Wright and Tad Mayer show that the hunt can be empowering and full of skill-building and relationship-forming experiences.

Each step in the process laid out in this book will increase access to the opportunities readers are looking for, and ultimately help them find a job that loves them back. What exactly does that mean? According to the authors, "a job that loves you back is “one that you feel great about doing, and that allows you to live the life you want.” This looks different for everyone, and this book is sure to help any reader figure out what it looks like for them.

The book’s structure is designed to empower, encourage progress and help bypass the fear and stress that often keep people trapped on an unsatisfying career path. The book is broken down clearly into three distinct parts, making the process more accessible and digestible. The book is also full of techniques, exercises, and sample scripts that will help readers save time and tackle the journey with confidence and calm. Additionally featured are personal stories from the authors depicting successful implementations of the strategies outlined in the book and how these led them to their current positions, along with some embarrassing fails that both lighten the mood and show that failure is a necessary ingredient for success.

Equally as impressive as the strategies and knowledge provided by the authors is the way in which they lay it out. Rejecting the dry, empirical approach that most career help books tend to feature, Finding a Job That Loves You Back combines humor and relatability with concise prose to provide a welcoming lesson. “Insightful, engaging and informative... I love the refreshing approach and explanation the authors provide on the value of building connections…,” said fellow author and career coach Jayne Mattson. “The authors’ stories describing how cultivating key relationships led to their career success will inspire you to do the same!”

Inside this book are the tactics readers need to take control of their job hunt and to make the process not just manageable, but fun. Everyone deserves a job that loves them back, and when readers will be thanking this book when they find their own.
