5 STAR REVIEWS FROM AMAZON

An easy to understand guide for improving professional communication

“I really appreciated this book’s straightforward approach and very practical advice. In “The Job Seeker’s Script” Humphrey doesn’t just offer tips, but explains why certain steps are effective in easy to understand terms with practical real world examples. This approach makes best practices easier to understand and easier to follow, as you learn why they’re so effective at a very human level.

I got a lot out of reading this book, and have already found myself using some of the strategies in my everyday work communications, especially in situations where it really counts. I strongly recommend it to anyone who needs to sell themselves in a professional environment; that includes job seekers, of course, but I also think those who will get the most out of it are those who have plenty of talent but sometimes get overlooked because they struggle to communicate their value effectively. For them, these strategies could be a game changer for their career.”

– Jared Lindzon

– Marissa Dyck

A must-read for any job seeker!

“The Job Seeker’s Script is so much more than tips and techniques. It covers the entire job search process and it does so with a single, powerful message: job seekers must become great story tellers. They need to know where they’re going (and have a sense of plot), how to define their character, deliver a clear and consistent message, structure each ‘chapter’ persuasively, and rehearse their lines so they deliver a great performance.

In short, every successful job seeker should be able to tell a story that is clear and well articulated.This book will guide the reader through all these situations and provide an approach that is authentic and convincing, as well as giving the job seeker confidence. Definitely a book that every job seeker should have, whether you want to move up in your company or move to a new firm. I have a job I love, but I’m ordering copies for young people I mentor.”

– Joy Hawes

Excellent read. Critical for any job seeker (at any level)

– Michael Palombo

The book you need as a job seeker

– Tejal

Another Great Book Filled with Tips & Techniques

“I’ve been an avid follower of Judith Humphrey for over a decade and leveraged every one of her books to help both myself and others improve their communication and presentation skills. The Job Seeker’s Script is by far one of the most impactful books I have read and is extremely relevant to the current situation facing many at this time. Her book addresses how to make the process of finding a new job (or a new career) more effective and efficient. This is a ‘must read’ for anyone seeking to land their dream job!”

– Jay R.

Best book for a job search and applying for a promotion

“The Job Seeker’s Script is an invaluable guide not only for launching a job search but a guide to effective communication throughout a career.

Judith Humphrey, continues to share her passion for effective communication in this, her fourth book. (Yes, I have read the other three and couldn’t wait to read this one!)

Judith is a North Star here with straightforward and practical guidance for reaching that job or promotion. The shares not only steps but provides you with an understanding why each step is important and keeps you focused.

What else shines through in the book is Judith’s encouragement. Success doesn’t come from wishing upon a star but takes thoughtful effort. The best piece of advice for me was that impromptu speaking takes practice. Read the book to see what that means. I have worked with highly success consultants, sales people who enbody this approach.

Working on The Job Seeker’s Script builds confidence when networking and interviewing. Every graduating student would benefit from reading this book and learn what took many of us years of trial and error.

Thank you Judith!”

– Lilly Palmieri

Roadmap for career development

“I’ve read several of the author’s books including Impromptu, ‘Speaking as a Leader’ and Taking the Stage’. Her style of books are direct and impactful. The Job Seeker’s Script is another hit!

This book can be applied not only to job seekers but anyone in the process of reinventing themselves. It gives you the tools to script your pitch and tell your story in an engaging manner.

It’s a great resource for those who want to level up their job search game; and explains effective strategies to stand out in a sea of applicants.

Its an easy read and holistically covers the best approach to a job/career search. The book inspires you to take action with easy to follow principles.

I highly recommend this book.”

Excellent resource

“I’ll definitely be using this to help my career coaching clients gain confidence and clarity in their job searches. Love the mini scripts – they are immediately useful and actionable. Many books explain in concept what job seekers should do and focus on, but few give them actual powerful words and framing to practice with and tailor to their own voice. Especially for folks wanting to level up in their careers, learning to use the language of senior level professionals is essential to presenting themselves with confidence and ease. And in the modern professional world, being able to map your story to the needs of the company / client is essential to finding a mutually beneficial fit that elevates both job seeker and employer.”

– CEH

A tool that will elevate the narrative and impact of the job seeker.

“The Job Seeker’s Script is a very practical and useful guide for anyone looking to find a job now and in the future. Judith Humphrey has created a model that can be easily used in all stages of the job search process. It draws on the author’s expertise as a storyteller and speaking coach to help the reader effectively tell their story. This combination of the model, the author’s experience and input and examples from many professionals provide a tool that will elevate the narrative and impact of the job seeker. This is a book I will incorporate into my professional practice as a career coach.”
