This blog is not for everyone.  It offers a view of the job market—the contest between job seekers and recruiters—that’s unlike any you’ve ever seen before.  In fact, it is unabashedly contrarian.  For that reason, the blog is likely to be uncomfortable and even threatening to some.  To others, however, it will be the first candid, completely honest discussion of the job market they’ve ever encountered.

What does that mean?  Whether you’re looking for work or searching for talent, Work Strong takes the wimpy, wish-upon-a-star fairy tale out of the job market and tells you the truth about what it takes to succeed in the 21^st Century world of work.  Think of it as “mojo for your career.”

The blog is based on my 2009 book Work Strong: Your Personal Career Fitness System. Work Strong is a different kind of career book.  Designed specifically for the challenging workplace of the 21^st Century:

·            Work Strong not only tells you what to do for career success, but when, where and how to do it.

Career Fitness includes both a revolutionary philosophy of work and a regimen of daily, weekly and monthly activities that empower you to apply that philosophy to your career.

Using physical fitness as a metaphor, it introduces an approach to career self-management that is appropriate for everyone from senior executives and seasoned professionals to soon-to-be and recent graduates, and those seeking to reenter the workforce after an extended absence.

·            Work Strong helps you tap both sides of your brain in learning how to build a healthy career.

It encourages you to use your reasoning ability on the left side of your brain by presenting all of the information you need to Work Strong in your career.  That’s The Career Fitness System.

It also encourages you to use your creative ability on the right side of your brain by presenting a fictional account of what it would be like to Work Strong.  That’s The Diary of a Career Activist.

In today’s world of work, you have only two choices: you can be the master of your career or you can be its victim.  Get the tools you need to take charge of the one-third or more of your life you spend at work.  Get Work Strong today!  You’ll increase the paycheck and the satisfaction you bring home from work!
