The Job Seeker’s Script by Judith Humphrey; Greenleaf Book Group, Fast Company Press

Thank you NetGalley and Greenleaf Book Group, Fast Company Press for sending this advance reader's copy for review consideration. This review expresses my own personal opinion. I have not been asked to post it by the author, their publishing company or anyone connected with the book or author.

Judith Humphrey’s new book, The Job Seeker’s Script, is a must read for any job seeker, whether you are seeking your first post-college job, a seeker due to a recent downsizing, changing companies, or wanting to move within the company. She presents clear-eyed tested strategies to help you prepare for one of the most important actions you will take in your career, the dreaded job interview, which it doesn’t have to be if you follow her tactics. It does not matter whether you are interviewing for the top job at your college’s newspaper or with Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, who by the way seeks job candidates who “won’t accept the status quo, people who aren’t satisfied with the way things are,” you will be prepared if you follow her approach, which is to tell your story, to show how you should be the one hired.

The book is chocked full of examples of how to prepare, what to do and not to do, with personal stories of job seekers, recruiters, and hirers laced throughout. She even covers what CEOs like Cook, Mary Barra, CEO of GM, Jamie Dimon, Chairman & CEO of JPMorgan Chase, Indra Nooyi, former Chairman & CEO of Pepsi, and Sara Blakely, Founder of Spanx look for. Sections cover resume writing, how to inspire with strong messaging, the importance of research, crafting your interview script, how to prepare for the Q&A and the quirky questions that might come up, and much more.

The reading is fluid and easy to understand and her suggestions are a no-brainer to do if you want to invest the time in yourself and your career.

When she covers how to reinforce your experience, I would liked to have seen more around the need to have concrete examples with metrics and measures baked into your story telling, While this is covered, frankly, it was surface level and I think a deeper dive could have been done for that is the core of your message, the skills, experience and knowledge you can bring to the company you are interviewing with. It's my position that when companies are hiring they are trying to solve or meet a business problem and they are looking for the right candidate to help them do that.

I also think a little more brevity throughout the book was needed. There are sections that could have been combined like how to say thank you, which is covered in two sections. As the authors of the book, Smart Brevity state, "most chapters of most books go untouched." In this case you want to touch every chapter even though some could have been shortened or combined.

Overall, this is a very good book on how to prepare for your next job interview and I highly recommend you pick up a copy.

Story telling is very important. When looking for a job, you need to land a good story about what and who you are and describe the values you can bring to an organization. Interesting book with practical examples, tips and suggestions that can suit any level of job seekers and make him/her a remarkable candidate.

The book is pretty phenomenal. It described the standard hiring questions used by female CEOs, including Indra Nooyi, Mary Barra, and Sara Blakely. Sara is the founder of Spanx, so she has filled the CEO spot with qualified people. It matters to her not just that they can do the job but that they are likeable people. I received a review copy from NetGalley and have left my opinion.

What a great book for advice on how to present yourself for everything from conversations and networking to pitches and interviews. Practical, clear and easy to read, this book is a must for anyone looking to strengthen their confidence and presence. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
