Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What if the job hasn't come yet - and you're still okay?Most job-search books promise a happy ending. This one doesn't, because the author hasn't reached his yet.Written in real time, from inside a search that has already stretched past a year and a half, Still Searching, Still Whole is an honest, deeply personal guide for mid-career professionals navigating the particular pain of repeated rejection - silent ATS filters, algorithmic ghosting, the quiet fear that your age or your experience has quietly become a liability instead of an asset.This isn't another resume-optimization guide. It's a companion for what actually happens to a person emotionally during a long search: the grief nobody gives you permission to feel, the stories your mind tells you at 2 a.m., the slow erosion of confidence that no LinkedIn tip can fix.Across thirteen chapters, you'll find: Research-backed insight into how AI hiring tools and age bias actually work - and what the data doesn't supportPractical, repeatable tools for processing rejection without spiralingA path through grief that doesn't rush you toward forced positivityAfrican proverbs woven throughout, offering generations-deep wisdom for carrying hardshipA radically honest voice - written by someone still living this search, not looking back at it from safetyThis book won't promise you the job is coming. What it will do is help you stay whole while you wait for it - with your worth, your relationships, and your sense of self intact.If you're tired of hustle-culture platitudes and ready for something that actually meets you where you are, Still Searching, Still Whole is the companion this season of your life has been missing.
