edit data

Rudy Ridolfo has worked over 50 jobs — and walked away from most of them. Before writing Job Junky, he spent years in the world of independent film, chasing stories that didn’t follow a script and jobs that didn’t require a résumé. Job Junky is a punchy, darkly funny memoir about work, burnout, and escape, told in raw, standalone chapters that feel more like confessions than career advice. Ridolfo writes under a pen name, not because he’s elusive — just because he’s got future job interviews to think about. He currently lives somewhere between shifts.

Rudy Ridolfo's Blog: Job #32 — The Producer Forgot to Tell His Parents We We

A moment from the jobs that became Job Junky

Thinking about some of the jobs that eventually ended up in my memoir.

Job #32

The producer forgot to tell his parents
we were blowing up the house.

I happened to be standing next to his father
when the charges went off.

His first instinct
was to grab me by the throat.

One of the many job moments that eventually became part of Job Junky.
