"Tory Johnson is simply the best. Her ideas are exciting. Her heart is big and embracing. There is no better coach, champion, and friend on the path to your dreams.”—Diane Sawyer
FIRED to HIRED: Bouncing Back From Job Loss to Get to Work Right Now(coming in August)
At just 22, Tory Johnson was fired from her dream job as a publicist at NBC News. What followed is a familiar story – days full of denial, Häagen-Dazs, and daytime soaps. Tory’s pity party turned into a misery marathon until she decided to own up to her new reality and move forward. After writing a cathartic “Dear Andy” to the boss who arrogantly sent her packing, Tory picked herself up and started the next chapter of her life, learning valuable lessons along the way.
After a few intermediate jobs, and with her hard-won wisdom in tow, Tory founded Women For Hire, a leading provider of comprehensive career services for women, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this fall. She also became Good Morning America’s workplace contributor. In her new role as career guru and mentor, Tory is helping people all over the country land a first job, get back to work after time off, or find the career that feeds the soul as well as the wallet.
With the country’s unemployment rate exceeding 9 percent; the number of long- term unemployed at its highest level in more than 25 years; and the ranks of the underemployed (forced to take a part-time job when they’d prefer full-time work) swelling, Tory is in the trenches—busier than ever before helping Americans go from helpless to hired.
Searching for a job isn’t what it was 20 years ago—or even 2 years ago. Today, it’s not enough to be a great candidate; one must be an exceptional jobseeker as well. Loaded with brilliant tips on how to get noticed and get hired, Tory's new book FIRED TO HIRED: Bouncing Back from Job Loss to Get to Work Right Now, will help readers feel stronger and more ready to face their job hunt.
