— “There are really just two ways to live: believing in your dreams or not believing in your dreams.”
Valeria Teles interviews Carl McCoy — the author of “Job Hunter Road: Comedy and Self-Help on the Path to Finding a Job.”
Comic relief and inspiration on the road to success. Laugh out loud satire and soulful advice come together in one of the most original, funniest genre-blending self-development books you’ll ever read. With sharp and irreverent humor, Job Hunter Road provides timely comic relief to job seekers while tackling some serious questions about finding work today: "Why don't more people love their jobs?" "Why do we make it so hard to change careers?" "Why do we require unnecessary and expensive degrees for everything?" "What does it take to be an entrepreneur?" "Does networking have to be so ugly and opportunistic?" "What stops us from reaching our career potential?" Journey down an unpredictably quirky highway of laughter as you encounter opera, loving cats, crocodile hunting terriers, and levitating job seekers on the road to self-empowerment.
Carl McCoy's writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal and the Christian Science Monitor. He studied political science at Tufts University and Pembroke College, Oxford University. After completing his graduate degree at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, DC, Carl moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and started up his own successful private piano teaching practice. He now lives in Boston, and spends his time writing, playing piano in a band, and teaching English to international college students. His book, Job Hunter Road, is a humorously honest account of what it takes to go beyond the 9-5 daily grind, and to reclaim a passionate and unstoppable career by the force of your own will.
