Getting a job and thriving in the workplace present unique challenges to the 30–50 percent of Americans (depending on the source) who identify as introverts. Accordingly, career coach and writer Finkle provides valuable exercises and practical recommendations. Although hardly "complete" (there is no mention of cover letters in the job search section), this is a solid overview of issues such as résumé writing, interviewing, negotiating job offers, onboarding, networking, and self-promotion on social media. Reserved and inner-directed readers will find comfort in the knowledge that they need not be extroverted to succeed in the job marketplace.
VERDICT For job searchers, professionals seeking advancement, and the career development specialists who serve them.
