Show Up to Win: How to Land the Leadership Role You Want

Fearful that AI and market forces will take their jobs, many workers are essentially spamming job-hunting sites and employers with their résumés, with the hope they will find an opportunity to stay employed — a phenomenon known as doomjobbing. In Show Up to Win: How to Land the Leadership Role You Want, Kelly Kay and Jeff Sanders offer a more effective alternative. They show how job applicants can stand out, make the most of the first 30 days after a layoff, tell a compelling career story and share setbacks in a way that makes them more appealing. They tap their experience advising Fortune 1000 companies on leadership hiring and advising executives on career transitions as partners at Heidrick & Struggles. Social Capital leaders looking to improve their own career prospects and help mentees will find this book valuable reading.
