"If you're even thinking about a job search, start here."

Based on 25 years of experience working with thousands of leaders - from early-career product managers to CEOs - Never Search Alone gives readers a time-tested, multi-step process (with exercises, tools, and templates) to find the right job now.
Three big ideas animate Never Search Alone:
Never Search Alone. Because your emotional balance is the most important thing you need to manage in a job search, you need a support group of fellow job seekers that will help you turn insecurity and anxiety into hope, motivation, confidence, and accountability.
Candidate-Market Fit. If product-market fit drives company success, candidate-market fit drives career success. So, before you begin interviewing and networking you need to identify precisely what you want and what the market wants. Phyl shows how this key step will help you figure out the intersection between your hopes and dreams and market realities.
Four Legs to the Negotiations Stool. There are *four* legs to the negotiations stool: compensation, budget, resources, and support. The last three drive your success in the next job, which is why Phyl asks job seeker's to emphasize that as much or even more than compensation (though, of course, they will also show you how to ask for more money).
