{"product_id":"never-search-alone-the-job-seekers-playbook","title":"Never Search Alone: The Job Seeker's Playbook","description":"\"If you're even thinking about a job search, start here.\"\n- Marty Cagan, Silicon Valley Product Group\n\nBased 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.\n\nThree big ideas animate Never Search Alone:\n\nNever 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.\nCandidate-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.\nFour Legs to the Negotiations Stool. There are *four* legs to the negotiations stool: compensation, budget, resources, and support. The last three drive your success in the next job, which is why Phyl asks job seeker's to emphasize that as much or even more than compensation (though, of course, they will also show you how to ask for more money).\n\nForeword by Marty Cagan (Excerpt)\nFor more than 20 years, I've encouraged people who are serious about their career to meet Phyl Terry.\n\nYes, Phyl is one of the best-connected leaders in the industry.\n\nYes, Phyl is a genuine human being who truly cares about you per- sonally and your career.\n\nBut what really sets Phyl apart is that he understands how to harness the power of community.\n\nThis book is all about scaling the magic that is Phyl.\n\nI have seen Phyl and the techniques he advocates dramatically improve the career trajectories of countless people.\n\nAnd not just people who are in mid-career, dissatisfied with their current job, and want to find better.\n\nThese techniques are at least as valuable for new college graduates looking for that all-important first professional job.\n\nOr another very difficult but increasingly common situation: older employees who find themselves in need of a new job, yet encountering systemic ageism at every turn.\n\nWhich is to say, nearly everyone in the professional workforce can benefit from the techniques in this book.\n\nAnd one more pro tip: it's a good idea to learn these techniques before you need them.\n\nWhen you are able to find a job that you truly enjoy, that leverages your unique skills and talents, where you can receive the coaching necessary to continue to grow and develop to reach your potential, and where you can make a real contribution, you have meaningfully improved your life.\n\nMy hope is that this book will help countless people to improve their lives.\n\n— Marty Cagan\nFounder, Silicon Valley Product Group December 2021\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0B9Q9YDQ5\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.B0B9Q9YDQ5.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Terry, Phyl|Cagan, Marty\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
