The job search is one of the most consequential skills most people are never actually taught.
Â
They figure it out alone, under pressure, in real time — making avoidable mistakes, missing invisible opportunities, and measuring their progress by the cruelest possible metric: silence.

Â
The question I get asked most often is: why a job search book? After 30 years — 16 in the Air Force, 16 as an academic dean at institutions across the country, and 8 years teaching at the Forbes School of Business and other colleges, I've sat across from thousands of people at every stage of their careers. Students, mid-career professionals, and those returning after a gap.
Â
The issue I saw wasn't ability. It was that the job search is treated like something people should already know how to do — and nobody teaches it. Not in high school, college, or the workplace. You're just expected to figure it out, and when you struggle, you assume something is wrong with you.
Â
Nothing is wrong with you. You were never taught. Recent graduates don't know about ATS filters, and mid-career professionals often frame accomplishments as simple job descriptions. These gaps are the difference between landing interviews and silence. I wrote this book because you deserve a resource that meets you where you are, and I built Designed Careers because sometimes you need an expert in your corner. That's what we're here for.
The book is the strategy. The checklists are the execution plan!
