Soaring on Your Strengths

From America's number-one career counselor comes a savvy new book designed to help you take advantage of the paradigm shift in today's workplace. It's no longer enough to be generally qualified, says Robin Ryan. Instead, more and more companies are hiring and promoting employees whose specific strengths match particular positions. In Soaring on Your Strengths, Ryan shows how to identify your marketable qualities and use that knowledge to promote and brand yourself for the best jobs and promotions. She helps you establish an appealing career identity using self-marketing tools like resumes, Mind Maps, and on-the-job success stories, and also outlines fresh approaches to networking with colleagues and negotiating with the boss. Filled with her clients' success stories, solid strategies, and smart, easy-to-follow advice, this book is the next best thing to having your own career coach on call to advance your career and prosper.
