Never Search Alone: The Job Seeker's Playbook

Based on 25 years of experience working with thousands of leaders – from early-career product managers to CEOs – Never Search Alone gives readers a time-tested, multi-step process (with exercises, tools, and templates) to find the right job now.

This new approach to looking for a job and building a good career focuses on three big ideas learned from helping thousands of job seekers:

1. Never Search Alone. Because your emotional balance is the most important thing you need to manage in a job search, you need a support group of fellow job seekers that will help you turn insecurity and anxiety into hope, motivation, confidence, and accountability.
2. Candidate-Market Fit. If product-market fit drives company success, candidate-market fit drives career success. So, before you begin interviewing and networking you need to identify precisely what you want and what the market wants. Phyl shows how this key step will help you figure out the intersection between your hopes and dreams and market realities.
3. Boss the Process. When interviewing and negotiating, you need to put yourself in charge. From how you interview to how you negotiate, Never Search Alone presents an entirely new way to think about improving the odds of getting an offer and then negotiating for all you need to succeed in the new job.
