Umm, maybe just once more after it is actually released on April 1.
I got copies of my new book this week. I’m really embarrassed because I’ve been writing the title incorrectly for months. The title is Tell Me About Yourself: Storytelling to Get Jobs and Propel Your Career
, but I’ve been writing “Storytelling to Get a Job.” In fairness to me, the photo of the cover on Amazon (see photo) says “Storytelling to Get a Job” plus the incorrect title also appears on the publisher’s site (and hmmmm…. I wonder why JIST’s site gives a December release date). Still, it’s kinda bizarre for an author not to know the name of her own book.
I’m really happy with the book’s design; the folks at JIST Publishing did a great job. It’s very reader-friendly.
The book, my seventh, is pretty special to me because it was part of my dissertation research and represents my personal and professional evolution from career guru to proponent of using storytelling in the job search — and all-around student and fan of all kinds of storytelling. Had there been no book as part of my PhD program, A Storied Career probably would not exist. I might have originally envisioned that this blog would be more consistently about using storytelling in job search and career. I did not know I would be seduced by all kinds of storytelling.
Tell Me About Yourself releases April 1 and can be pre-ordered on Amazon.
