Produktbeschreibung

A guide to career success for the awkward, the offbeat, the introverted, and anyone who feels like they don't fit in: "A book as funny as it is wise." -Rumaan Alam, New York Times-bestselling author of Leave the World Behind As a brand-new employee at a mandatory corporate retreat, Jennifer Romolini-who was afraid of heights-found herself, under pressure, clawing her way to the top of a rope ladder. There, she promptly froze in terror until someone climbed up to help her down. It didn't seem like an auspicious beginning, but the awkward, anxious, twenty-seven-year-old misfit stayed in the job (where climbing was not actually a required skill), and went on to succeed. She navigated through the New York media industry and became a boss-an editor-in-chief, an editorial director, and a vice president-all within little more than a decade. In this book, she asserts that being outside the norm and achieving high-level success are not mutually exclusive, even if it seems like only office-politicking extroverts are set up for reward. Part career memoir, part real-world guide,Weird in a World That's Notoffers relatable advice on how to achieve your dreams when you feel like you don't fit in and the odds seem stacked against you. She helps you face your fears, find the right career, and get and keep a job-and offers empathetic, clear-cut answers to important questions:

• How do I navigate the awkwardness of networking?
• How do I deal with intense office politics?
• How do I leave my crappy job?
• How do I learn how to be a boss, not just a #boss?
• And, most importantly: How do I do all this and stay true to who I really am?

Authentic, funny, and moving,Weird in a World That's Notwill help you tap into your inner tenacity and find your path, no matter how off-the-beaten-path you are.
