Biblical Stories for the Job Seeker Matthew Ratz

In today's rough job climate, any text that can offer advice, encouragement, and inspiration to the job seeker is an essential part of a candidate's library. Biblical Stories for the Job Seeker is a book that explores the unique and pertinent advice the Tanakh offers for the job searcher and the mid-career professional. Examining biblical stories that stretch from the earliest verses of Genesis to the last words of Proverbs, Biblical Stories for the Job Seeker uses a modernist literary perspective to draw from each story it examines meaningful and time-relevant career information. The text includes advice for job searches and interviews as well as professional workplace behavior, all delivered with a Torah perspective and in the casual air of a trusted friend. The text also includes advice and information for building resumes, cover letters, and thank you letters while also briefly and concisely summarizing its messages in its final chapter.
