About this item
An honest, sharp-witted, practical guide to help you get and keep the job you want - from an outsider whose been there and done it, a woman who went from being a broke, divorced, college dropout to running some of the biggest websites in the world.Jennifer Romolini started her career as an awkward twenty-seven-year-old misfit, navigated her way through New York media and became a boss - an editor-in-chief, an editorial director, and a vice president - all within little more than a decade. Her book, Weird In A World That's Not, asserts that being outside-the-norm and achieving real, high-level success are not mutually exclusive, even if the perception of the business world often seems otherwise, even if it seems like only office-politicking extroverts are set up for reward.
About the Author
I'm the chief content officer of Shonda Rhimes's soon-to-be-launched website Shondaland.com. Before this, I was the editor-in-chief of HelloGiggles and Yahoo Shine and the deputy editor of Lucky magazine. My writing has appeared in places like The New York Times and Lenny Letter. All of this sounds fancy, but just a few years ago, I was a broke, divorced, college dropout weirdo trying to make my way in the world and break into an industry in which I knew nobody. This is my first book.
