Introverts often have difficulty selling themselves - and nowhere more than in a situation where they must sell their own skills and services, such as a job interview. This is where Ms. Casineanu can help introverts - or anyone who has difficulty promoting themselves -- to conduct themselves with confidence and be proud of the outcome.
While the book is directed to readers who are looking for work, this book is also a must-read for hiring managers, everyone in the H.R. department, life-skills counselors (charities, government agencies and high school counselors) and everyone who wants to know how to network with more confidence and success.
This book is detailed - it isn't intended to be a 'fast read' dispensing the same-old advice and easy answers. Instead, it takes a hard and serious look at a problem almost every adult will encounter in life: how do you sell yourself in a way that is honest, ethical and effective?
This book needs to be on every educator's, coach's, human resources manager's and entrepreneur's reference self. I'd also give it to any new grad or job-changer looking for how to put their best foot forward!

A very comprehensive book that is sure to become a market leader. Very useful even for extroverts, and for introverts not looking for a job. There is so much in it that hones one's focus, give direction, find inner strengths and help one look at the bigger picture.
This book is an amazing resource for job seekers, lecturers, life skills coaches and career advisers. It is a longish read and comes with useful graphs and downloadable templates.
The writer's compassion and passion to empowers shines through as she guides and educates the reader into empowerment.
I am looking forward to the paperback release, as I think this book is worth having as a handy referral resource for my coaching clients, and as an introvert myself I am awaiting more books from this writer!

Simply Amazing and that's putting it Mildly!
Introverts: Leverage Your Strengths for an Effective Job Search is a book that is beyond laying out strategies, tips, and techniques for a successful job search. While reading you will feel as if you have, your personal coach to help you through the process to discover the job that is great for you. The interactive approach that Gabriela has laid out will leave you empowered and energized. I highly recommend for the introvert as well as others.

AN EXCELLENT AND RECOMMENDED BOOK!!!
I highly recommend this book. Why?, Because it’s written by an experienced Life Coach based on her coaching experience geared towards helping her specific niche. I love Chapter Four where the author used the Wheel Of Life as a form of exercise where it measures a person’s current state in the different aspects of life. This is a very effective tool that I used as well with my clients. There’s nowhere that you can find a book that is abundant in tips and information that will equip and prepare an introvert.

Good book but of uneven quality
Author has lots to say based on years of experience delivering workshops. But too much sometimes, overwhelming the reader with her constant quips on anything and everything, including herself. Also too many typos and hyperlinks leading to the wrong pages. I was bored at times. Too bad: with the help a great editor, this book could take its place among other stellar job search guides.

Decent book about overlooked subject
As an introvert, I was looking for an unique perspective on job hunting. This book offers that. I think the author and too many other overlap social and being introverted. Good ideas nonetheless

"Introverts is bound to be a helpful book for all job seekers. It contains tried and tested techniques plus some new ones along with specific emphasis on introverts and their point of view. The clean writing style and content make this a useful read for anyone—introverts or not—looking to improve on their job search and job landing skills, and I would recommend it."

This book is a treasure trove of information and inspiration for the introverted job seeker. Being an introvert and in the job market myself, I found that this book really resonates with my own inherent struggles in this process. The book is definitely high value and a must read for anyone in the job market, let alone introverts. Five stars!
