Forever Employable: How to stop looking for work and let your next job find you

Forever Employable, my new book, is now available!

It's been 2 years since the start of this journey and ,finally, Forever Employable: How to stop looking for work and let your next job find you is available for sale on Amazon in print, Kindle and audio book.You should buy a copy and, after you've read it, write a review. I would be very grateful for that.
