MISSING CHAPTER 6
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
This book is very honest; it does not provide a shortcut to finding a job, but it truly gives you a reality check on the job-hunting process. It equips you with tools to consider before accepting offers. I have been working for eight years now, and before reading this book, my primary focus was finding a well-paying job. Unfortunately, 90% of the time, I found myself in unhealthy work environments because I had no clear blueprint for what I wanted—specifically, I just needed money. This book changed my perspective on what to look for when searching for a job.The author even compares job hunting to marriage, making a perfect analogy. The exercises provided, which encourage you to write down and brainstorm what you desire in a job, were quite daunting at first. It’s a bold move to say no or ask difficult questions when all you want is a job. However, this book has given me a different perspective on that area.I also appreciated how the author incorporated his views on drawing faith from God and using the job-hunting process as an opportunity for self-discovery. He emphasizes that finding a job you love should also involve finding a role that allows you to help others. I cherish the author's wisdom on kindness and love, and I will hold onto this book as it has awakened me, particularly in regard to the Christian perspective.

Where is chapter 6?

The last chapter can feel like a hard left turn, especially if you’re just there for the practical insights. It’s jarring when a book that’s mostly about career planning suddenly pivots into something that feels like a sermon. Even readers who align with those values can find it out of place in a book about navigating work and life purpose.
It’s brutish to instill a Christian message into a book about job hunting, replete with passages. It felt more like the author forcing it so that he could spread the word of Jesus. Predatory in nature because author himself admits people between jobs are vulnerable.
