An Edifying Career Journey

Revisado: 05-25-19

Overall, the audio book is well paced and Anna Marie Trester's voice makes listening a pleasant experience. In the beginning she provides the journeys/stories of other linguists and her own journey that illustrate how opportunities become available, even in the most unconventional or unexpected places. These stories highlight the importance of listening and remaining open to possibilities. I love how she highlights the significance of linguists, particularly socio-linguists, since it appears that linguistics is a career that some may not recognize the possibilities for outside academia. This also highlights the significance for other disciplines that appear to be “purely” academic. One of the stories illustrates the importance of research into career during grad years to see the possibilities outside academia. The latter part of the book reveals what one is doing wrong in resumes, cover letters, and interviews. Anna Marie then shares with listeners the significance of language in writing that resume and cover letter that receives notice from employers. She explains how to phrase one's experience, education, skills, and knowledge during the interview to improve one's chances of being hired. This book is for anyone who has been struggling in the job market to get that initial interview or to land the job!
