"Tory Johnson is simply the best. Her ideas are exciting. Her heart is big and embracing. There is no better coach, champion, and friend on the path to your dreams.”—Diane Sawyer

FIRED to HIRED: Bouncing Back From Job Loss to Get to Work Right Now

At just 22, Tory Johnson was coldly fired from her dream job as a publicist at NBC News. What followed is a familiar story – days full of denial and Häagen-Dazs. Tory’s pity party turned into a misery marathon until she decided to own up to her new reality and move forward doing what she was truly meant to do.

After a few intermediate jobs, Tory founded Women For Hire, a leading provider of career services, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this fall. She also became Good Morning America’s workplace contributor.

With the country’s unemployment rate inching closer to double digits; the number of long- term unemployed at its highest level in more than 25 years; and the ranks of the underemployed (forced to take a part-time job when they’d prefer full-time work) swelling, Tory is in the trenches—busier than ever before helping Americans go from helpless to hired.

Searching for a job isn’t what it was 20 years ago—or even 2 years ago. Today, it’s not enough to be a great candidate; you must be an exceptional jobseeker as well. Loaded with solid advice on how to get noticed now, Tory's new book FIRED TO HIRED: Bouncing Back from Job Loss to Get to Work Right Now, will help readers feel stronger and more ready to go from out-of-work to on-the-job.
