Job Seekers using the support and guidance of a partner are more motivated, get better results, and land employment faster.

Job search is arguably one of the most difficult and lonely experiences of one's life. In today's environment of short-term employment - the "gig economy" as it is called-we are being called on to find work more often and in shorter intervals.

The value of a "Work Search Buddy" is someone who will:

• Keep you motivated

• Give you encouragement and support

• Share best practices

• Provide a friendly voice when you are feeling rejected or low

• Hold you accountable to the daily goals and activities of your search.

Work Search Buddies provides a way to keep connected to others during your search. You help each other get your job search day started. You encourage each other when you are lacking energy. You develop and implement strategies for success together. As humans, we always want to be with someone sharing our experiences. We want the help of another and feel that we can provide someone help.

This book walks you through the steps. The book and its enclosed steps are simple and easy to read and implement. The book becomes a handy pocket guide to refer to as you and your buddy navigate the job search process together.
