• Practical Advice
  Finally! Words of wisdom I can actually use! After being stuck for over a year, I read this book from cover to cover. The advice is sound, practical, and do-able. I appreciated the simple yet actionable steps, as well as the lists of words and exercises to get me unstuck. Best of all, Katy'a voice is encouraging throughout. I now have lists of contacts for informational interviews, specific industries and job titles to consider, and am well on my way to a new career. Thank you Katy Piotrowski!
