The day is finally here. My book, Tell Me About Yourself: Storytelling to Get Jobs and Propel Your Career, is released today. The blog you’re a reading serializes an earlier edition of the book. This content is similar, but the book is new and improved.

Here’s a description from the publisher:

With layoffs on the rise and the job market flooded with competition, individuals can no longer rely on traditional methods to yield career success. Now, more than ever, they must turn to strategies their competitors have not yet discovered.

Such groundbreaking strategies are packed into Katharine Hansen’s release, Tell Me About Yourself. This innovative guidebook unveils how to use the incredible power of storytelling for career advancement.

Echoing the most commonly asked job-interview question, Tell Me About Yourself shows readers how to answer that question — and all others — in a way that conveys a true sense of who they are and what value they offer the employer.

This book also introduces storytelling as the key to excelling in other job search activities, such as writing resumes and cover letters, networking, creating portfolios, and developing a personal brand. Readers learn how to execute these crucial steps impressively and successfully. Hansen also teaches readers how to use storytelling on the job to capitalize on opportunities to advance throughout their career.

The book’s mission: To guide job-seekers in a powerful use of storytelling — telling stories to advance your career, whether by moving up in your current organization or landing a job in a new organization.
