5 posts | 6 read | 29 to read
An honest, sharp-witted, practical guide to help you get and keep the job you wantfrom an outsider whose been there and done it, a woman who went from being a broke, divorced, college dropout to running some of the biggest websites in the world. Jennifer Romolini started her career as an awkward twenty-seven-year-old misfit, navigated her way through New York media and became a bossan editor-in-chief, an editorial director, and a vice presidentall within little more than a decade. Her book, Weird In A World Thats Not, asserts that being outside-the-norm and achieving real, high-level success are not mutually exclusive, even if the perception of the business world often seems otherwise, 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 Thats Not offers relatable advice on how to achieve your dreams, even when the odds seem stacked against you. Romolini helps you face down your fears, find a career thats right for you, and get and keep a job. She tackles practical issues 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 Thats Not will help you tap into your inner tenacity and find your path, no matter how offbeat you are.

This is a good book for those of us that feel like we don't quiet fit in, who feel like we don't say or do the right things in meetings or interviews, or just feel weird and anxious.

I'm biased. I know the author. She is as lovely, and strong, and smart, and kind as she comes across in this book. Though I have been anxiously awaiting this book to drop, Weird in a World That's Not came to me at the exact right moment I needed it. A high, high, high recommend.

This is not only full of good information, it's also humorous. I'm going to enjoy sitting outside tonight reading this one.
