Summary

These days， growing your career requires a brand。 People who can share their strengths through compelling stories—in interviews， resumes， and pitches—land the work。 But how can you find， optimize， and communicate those stories？

Career Stories founder Kerri Twigg combines her theater background with her training in HR， coaching， and meditation to bring you a job search guide unlike any other。 Like Julia Cameron did with The Artist’s Way， Kerri offers a program to find out which job is perfect for you， by examining your stories。 Kerri also provides practical tools for networking， writing resumes that impress， building your LinkedIn profile， and more。 And we’re not just talking about traditional employment—about half of Kerri’s clients realize that they’re actually entrepreneurs， and The Career Stories Method offers strategies for them too。

A career is not a job。 A career is something bigger and longer lasting。 Which makes this book a must-read for both job-seekers， job-havers， and the self employed。 By identifying， exploring， and telling our stories， we can bring our best selves to our work and to our long-term plans。There's so much kindredspirit-ness between this book and my work。 What I love about what Kerri offers is the rootedness in meditation as a tool for reflection and the immense practicality of her tactics。 It will age w A career is not a job。 A career is something bigger and longer lasting。 Which makes this book a must-read for both job-seekers， job-havers， and the self employed。 By identifying， exploring， and telling our stories， we can bring our best selves to our work and to our long-term plans。There's so much kindredspirit-ness between this book and my work。 What I love about what Kerri offers is the rootedness in meditation as a tool for reflection and the immense practicality of her tactics。 It will age well and be one to return to again and again。 。。。more
