Work Matter: Insights And Strategies For Job Seekers In This Rapidly Changing Economy – Brent M Jones.

Brent’s “Work Matters” is a truly remarkable work and a must-read for every job seeker. Brent generously shares his extensive experience and insights into the modern-day job market, company culture, and work environment.

Rather than a few quick fixes like overhauling social media profiles or faking to secure a job, in this book Brent offers a new and authentic approach to building a career in a challenging and competitive job market. Having gone through the job search and job loss cycle several times, I found this book empowering. I love how Brent explains the emotional and mental burden of job loss and how a person feels lonely and cornered after losing a job. I felt like he empowered me through empathy and, step by step, got me ready for the job hunt and my future career.

 He advises not to take events personally, explains how to use our strengths and weaknesses better, and understands the job market better. This alone made my job hunt thrice more effective. After reading “Work Matters,” I feel I’m ready and empowered for the next opportunity than ever.

If you’re looking for a book that offers a brutally honest view of the modern-day corporate environment and job market, and if you’re looking to position yourself in a competitive environment, this book is the perfect pick for you—highly recommended!
