Career experts agree that most job seekers already know what they need to do in order to find a new job. But they won’t—or can’t—do what it takes because they are paralyzed by their own fears: fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of talking to strangers, fear of looking foolish, fear of being seen as a “bragger,” and much more. Career coach Katy Piotrowski has helped thousands of clients overcome their fears and take the small steps that can lead to big rewards. Now she brings her expertise to the brand-new Career Cowards series for JIST, which analyzes each aspect of a successful job search and provides easy steps for facing job search challenges in a unique and easy-to-tackle format that includes
• A Risk Rating: What’s the worst that could happen if I do this?
• The Payoff Potential: What good things can happen if I do this?
• The Time to Complete: How much time will this take?
• A Bailout Strategy: If I just can’t do it, what can I do instead?
The Career Coward’s Guide to Interviewing, the first book in this series, helps readers sell their qualifications without “bragging,” develop courageous responses to tough questions, and have the guts to ask for a better salary offer.
