But more about GOOD JOB:
Kristina Halvorson says,
“Instant classic. This book is so necessary that I sort of can’t believe it didn’t exist before now — and aren’t you lucky that Margo finally wrote it! Her pragmatic guidance is infused with her own personal experience and humor throughout. Having both perspectives on hiring/getting hired at your fingertips is really priceless no matter what side of the fence you’re on.”
Nice words!
What else do I get in this book?
Pragmatic advice.
From setting up a search that focuses on strengths through negotiating offers, Good Job gets real about searching with heart, with honesty, and with efficiency.
Real-life perspectives
Beyond drawing on my own experience, I talked to people at all levels and at many leading companies to add their insight and expertise. Hear from hiring managers and successful hires at places like Meta, Amazon, Anthropic, Lyft, and so many other places.
Resources and real talk
Hiring and getting hired can be an emotional experience. I’ll set you up with some quality resources you’ll want to bookmark/follow/purchase, as well as some straight talk about how to take care of yourself.
Mike Monteiro allegedly says,
“Design interviews? Merde. Most of them are half-assed interrogations that couldn’t hire un chat out of a box. But Good Job? C’est magnifique. Margo Stern lays it all out—clear, sharp with no bullshit. Read this damn book before you embarrass yourself in front of another candidate. Pardon my French!”
So, listen to me. Listen to Kristina, listen to Mike and get your copy of Good Job.
