Some of the chapters in this book are drawn from articles published in business journals. When I was putting together the book, I realized I needed to be more conversational, create more or a narrative. What may be different about my genre is that there is a lot of career/job search advice available for free online. In order to make a book of any value to a reader, I knew I would have to make it clear that I offer a very different approach.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Probably what everyone says, don’t give up. I started this book almost 10 years ago, kept dropping it, then getting back to it. I was fortunate to have a few people who continued to encourage me. Somehow when I got back to it a year ago, I was ready to write and finish it. And I’m very glad I did.
