New Book: Job Moves

Job Moves – Think Using Jobs to Be Done… for careers. This is the research-driven, road-tested framework that will help you make real progress in your career as you switch jobs.

Changing jobs or switching careers is one of the biggest decisions someone can make and yet it’s happening all of the time, as a billion people are doing every year. So how do you know if you’re doing the right thing and when?

That’s where Job Moves comes into the picture to help.


Every year, one billion people around the world switch jobs. But hundreds of millions end up disappointed. The reality is that changing jobs or careers is hard.

What if you could make more informed choices about which opportunities to seize?

You can–once you understand that the power to move along your career paths is yours, as opposed to hiring managers or the market.


What is Job Moves about?

Job Moves demonstrates how to make this shift. It uses “Jobs to Be Done” theory—the notion that customers buy products to solve problems—and applies it to our careers.

Cast in this light, jobs are positions we “hire” to help us make progress in our lives. 

By understanding your priorities for a job at the specific moment when you make each move, you can identify what’s driving you, the experiences you hope to gain, what tradeoffs you’re willing to make, and how to learn if a new job will deliver before switching.

This wildly distinct approach enables job seekers to take a more holistic view and look beyond a title or a company to ask not what you can do in a job, but what a potential job can do for you. 

So many career books tell you what to do, but not WHY to do it. And then there are those books that have tons of data, but no direction. When we set out to research and write Job Moves, we knew it had to be different. It had to make sense of the data, with a story. It had to be actionable and applicable to every person that spent the time to read it.
