Happy About My Job Search
How to Conduct an Effective Job Search for a More Successful Career
by Barbara Safani
A job search is never easy and a struggling economy only makes it harder. Everybody knows she or he needs to be smarter, faster and better in finding a job, but how? After all, a job search is synonymous with plenty of hard work and also plenty of rejection. Now, career transition expert Barbara Safani comes to every job seeker’s rescue by addressing this pressing issue in a way that makes complete sense in today’s economy.
In Happy About My Job Search, Barbara offers a candid perspective of what a job search is, and isn’t. She offers plenty of practical hints for building better resumes and writing compelling cover letters. From her own experience, she freely shares an understanding of how to network during a job search, prepare strategies for interviews and negotiate a competitive compensation package.
As Barbara has noticed repeatedly, most of what occupies people in their job searches is really no more than busy work or wheel spinning. Job seekers often post endlessly on dead-end or random job boards, attend local career fairs whether or not they are useful, or simply hand out resumes to someone who promises to ‘see what they can do’--but these search methods rarely yield fruitful outcomes.
With expert insight and perspective, Barbara reveals the way to be well informed and better prepared for the journey ahead. And surprisingly, she shows that it’s possible to even find some fun, joy, and happiness during your job search. With articulate grace, Barbara shows you how to enjoy and see success even in the most trying job search situation.

ADVANCE PRAISE
“Barbara Safani hits it again! Her relevant, practical advice and thoughtprovoking questions and situations to ponder offer the most effective career coaching expertise in the market! As someone who has been interacting with job seekers on a daily basis for the last decade, I couldn’t agree more with all her commentary and counsel. She’s right on and her strategies and suggestions apply to a broad range of job seekers across industries, levels, or areas of expertise. It’s a must-read for anyone thinking of making a job change or transition!”
Lorri Zelman, Managing Director, Human Resources Practice, Solomon Page Group
“Safani has done it again ... zeroed in on the most important (and most current) job search how-to’s that are rooted in actual job seekers’ successes. With these tips delivered in short, succinct, ‘bite-sized’ pieces, you’ll find it easy to take action and gain momentum in your search. Bravo!”
Susan Whitcomb, author of Resume Magic, Interview Magic, and The Twitter Job Search Guide
“As a career professional with over twenty-five years of experience, I always approach new books with the thought, ‘tell me something I don’t know already.’ I must say, when I was asked to review this book I expected that I would find things that I never thought of. Barbara, who has presented at Pace, has encyclopedic knowledge of the job search and strategy process. In fact, I would call this book the ‘encyclopedia of job search and strategy.’ The book is full of tips, ‘to-do’s,’ and ‘not-to-do’s’ for every phase of the job search process. “It starts with a discussion of job boards, unrealistic expectations, branding, and standing out, and continues with resumes, networking, using social media sites, and interviewing. The book is loaded with specific examples and uses humor throughout. “I would highly recommend this book for job seekers from graduating students to experienced professionals.”
Barry Miller, PhD, Manager, New Employer Development, Pace University
