Manuscript
in progress

I’m writing a book.

It’s about job searching and applications: the searches that went nowhere, and what changed my approach. I’m excited to be writing it, especially now, when finding the right role can be such a frustrating process.

It’s still in progress. I’ve shared part of the thinking in “Apply to Fewer Jobs and Mean Every One.”
