Based on 25 years of experience working with thousands of leaders – from early-career product managers to CEOs – Never Search Alone gives readers a time-tested, multi-step process (with exercises, tools, and templates) to find the right job now.

This new approach to looking for a job and building a good career focuses on three big ideas learned from helping thousands of job
Foreword by Marty Cagan (Excerpt) For more than 20 years, I’ve encouraged people who are serious about their career to meet Phyl Terry. Yes, Phyl is one of the best-connected leaders in the industry. Yes, Phyl is a genuine human being who truly cares about you per- sonally and your career. But what really sets Phyl apart is that he understands how to harness the power of community. This book is all about scaling the magic that is Phyl. I have seen Phyl and the techniques he advocates dramatically improve the career trajectories of countless people. And not just people who are in mid-career, dissatisfied with their current job, and want to find better. These techniques are at least as valuable for new college graduates looking for that all-important first professional job. Or another very difficult but increasingly common older employees who find themselves in need of a new job, yet encountering systemic ageism at every turn. Which is to say, nearly everyone in the professional workforce can benefit from the techniques in this book. And one more pro it’s a good idea to learn these techniques before you need them. When you are able to find a job that you truly enjoy, that leverages your unique skills and talents, where you can receive the coaching necessary to continue to grow and develop to reach your potential, and where you can make a real contribution, you have meaningfully improved your life.

My hope is that this book will help countless people to improve their lives.

This book has a much more limited audience than I anticipated. I'd expect the average person to feel quite alienated at many points. This is for people used to working white collar jobs in middle-senior management and can reasonably expect to earn 6-7 figures in their next job possibly as a C-suite executive. The author stresses the important of *rejecting* offers that aren't right for you since readers are expected to have considerable savings to continue making ends meet. The book also assumes the reader is someone who thrives in a corporate social landscape having cultivated a sizable number of acquaintances at past employers who you can easily rely on for your next job search. If you fall into this narrow category of people, then the book has some genuinely good advice.

I do like the idea of social search and encouraging readers to ask for help. I wish there was a version of this book (and accompanying job search councils) that was aimed at people seeking a wider range of jobs and had a more skeptical attitude toward corporate America.

[Quinn McHugh · Rating 2 out of 5]

Great framework and solid tips, but I feel this book could've been a long blog post. That said, I'm very grateful for the free Job Search Council (JSC) matching service the author provides and look forward to doing the exercises and strategies discussed in the book as part of my JSC.

In terms of content, the book does feel written for a more "elite" audience (e.g. CEOs, VPs, Directors, and other professionals who tend to have more robust professional networks and financial privilege). Additionally, there were many times where the book basically comes across as a "draw the rest of the fucking owl meme," where the author provides some foundational guidance and expects the reader to be capable of figuring the rest out. This can be problematic, given that the majority of the case studies feature the ways in which C-suite executives or similar overcame some challenge by leveraging the (seemingly abundant) resources available to them. Since not everyone has such resources available to them, I would've liked to see deeper discussion on what strategies one might use if they find themselves in a less prestigious professional situation.

Lastly, I really disliked the author's tendency to self-promote and rolled my eyes at how many times their connection to Harvard (or another prestigious person/thing) is mentioned. Maybe I'm just a bitter lower class pleb, but it gave me elitist vibes at times. You be the judge.

[Chelsea Thompson-O'Brien · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this as an exercise in self-reflection during a time of change in my organization to identify ways I could grow, be more effective and clearly outline my value against new opportunities. Also participated in a JSC where I got live feedback from senior execs, which helped to focus my efforts and reroute as needed, while benefiting from learning about their experiences at a more advanced level relevant to me in future. Recommend this for anyone contemplating a shift, promotion or departure.

[Matthieu Cornillon · Rating 5 out of 5]

The central series of actions that this book recommends are incredibly helpful. I am not even all the way through what it recommends, and it already has helped me immensely. The Job Search Council it advocates has been a great source of support, and the act of developing my candidate-market fit has been invaluable as I try to figure out next steps. I have already recommended it to several people, and will continue to do so. I think much of the work is valuable even if you are currently employed, as the author notes. I have never felt as clear about where I am trying to go as I do now after going through this process.

While I strongly recommend it for this content, there are some things to beware:

• The author spends a lot of time on examples. These are of course valuable for illustration, but I found myself getting tired of wading through them as they interfered with the rhythm of the book. This was especially true in cases where the recommendation felt pretty clear, so the example felt like pushing on an open door.

• The book was clearly written in the ecosystem of Silicon Valley. I wonder whether it would be as effective in other sectors. While I believe that aspects of the exercises are great for everyone, I can imagine some roles for which this would feel out of touch.

• My sense is that a lot of the people that have gone through the Job Search Councils on which the author bases the book are at a relatively senior level. There are lots of C-suite examples. As a result, some of the exercises feel odd. For example, the Job Mission and OKRs exercise, while undoubtedly great for everyone in helping them grok the role and surface good questions for interviews, feels super awkward at the "share with hiring manager" stage. It strikes me that this would make a ton more sense at the executive level.

These nitpicks aside, the central content of this book is gold.

5 stars if i get a job

[Thiago Carvalho · Rating 4 out of 5]

Job searching as a professional is vastly different compared to a fresh-out-of-college applicant. This book has given me a fresh perspective on the entire job searching process. Job searching feels like a one-person journey when in fact there are thousands of others looking and applying as well. Why ho at it alone? Why not join up with others to help and encourage each other through the grueling process of finding a job?

[Harshal Patil · Rating 4 out of 5]

The main point of the book is clear: don't search for a job on your own. Instead, use a peer support network, which you can find on the author's website. This idea is repeated throughout the book. The book stresses that writing your resume and applying for jobs isn't the first step in your job hunt. The real first step is to understand which type of company you should apply to. It advises talking to people who work in that company or in the role you're interested in. This helps you understand the situation better. This approach is similar to the informational interviews mentioned in the book "Designing Your Life," and I also learnt this approach in business school at UCLA Anderson.

I appreciated how the book shared many stories about the benefits of discussing your job search with your peer group. It's helpful for sensemaking of what's happening in your job hunt. For example, if you get rejected, your peer group can offer an alternative explanation. This process helps you understand and learn from each challenge in your job search.

this book was valuable for me because I coach people to find their next job and I might also search for my next full time job soon.

[LA · Rating 1 out of 5]

To be fair, the author is upfront at the beginning about what this is. It's not really a book so much as a companion text that purports to teach you to use their website.

Still, I trudged forward, hoping I could get plenty of advice from something subtitled "the job seeker's playbook." This book is about 30% "use my website, follow me on LinkedIn," about 50% "this person listened to my advice and things worked out for them, and this other person didn't listen to my advice and things DIDN'T work out for them, so everyone should listen to my advice because it works for everyone" and about 20% actual advice.

You would be better off skipping the cherry-picked stories in this handbook and just visiting the website and deciding for yourself if the advice resonates with you, without the preachy lecture. I'm not really sure why the book exists other than to convince you to use the website, and I could have done without it.

[Bryan Whited · Rating 1 out of 5]

Worst book I have ever read.
The technique being used will not work for me as much as I would like it to, it just undoable.
The book is a requirement for their JSC which I was a moderator for a JSC that because of lack of support I had to give up on.
This experience ended up being a real disappointment and wish I could get my money back.

[Leisurecan · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read for any job seekers. Every individual is vulnerable in front of companies, so form your own job search council.

[Teechutha Netcharussaeng · Rating 4 out of 5]

The message I agree with in this book is, ask for help in your job search! I decided to join a job search council (JSC) like this book said, and it had been helpful morale boost in the job search. I liked the advice to make a document about what you want/not want in a job along with talking to past coworkers for your strengths and weaknesses and recruiters to help you align your skills with what the market wants. Having a jsc helped me stay accountable.

That said, a lot of the advice seems to apply more to people searching for executive level and/or already have a wide professional network and I felt quite awkward. And with this job market, the job search doesn’t feel quite linear like the book promised — joining a JSC was helpful but I don’t think it helped me accelerate my job search.

Still, I met very lovely people because of this program and I agree with the main message — ask for help!

[Daniel Warner · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s the most practical and supportive method for job search that I have come across. Phyl combines concise action steps with real life success stories from his broad experience with all sorts of job seekers, from college grads to Silicon Valley CEOs.

[Dean · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gets five stars just for introducing the concept of a Job Search Council. Everything else is bonus material. Highly recommend joining a JSC!

[Jung]

Looking for a new role can often feel like an isolating, draining, and discouraging experience, no matter how impressive a candidate’s résumé might be. The cycle of applications, rejections, and endless waiting wears down even the most confident professional. In "Never Search Alone" by Phyl Terry, the author proposes a fundamentally different way of approaching the job hunt: transforming it from a lonely struggle into a collaborative, structured, and empowering process. Rather than navigating the uncertainty in silence, Terry encourages job seekers to lean into community, research, and clarity of purpose, showing that the path to a fulfilling role becomes smoother when walked with others.

The heart of this approach is what Terry calls the Job Search Council, or JSC. At its core, a JSC is a small group of people at similar career stages who commit to supporting one another during the search process. Instead of competing or comparing, members act as advisers, encouragers, and accountability partners. In practice, a council becomes a shared advisory board where trust develops quickly because everyone faces similar pressures. One member may offer insights into industry trends, another might provide candid feedback on résumés or interview strategies, while another can introduce contacts from their own network. The emotional lift is just as important as the practical help. For instance, the book highlights professionals whose confidence had been shattered by toxic workplaces; through the encouragement of their JSCs, they rebuilt their belief in their own skills, enabling them to perform more convincingly in interviews and negotiations.

Forming such a council may seem daunting at first, but Terry outlines simple steps to make it happen. The process begins with finding just one other person in a similar position, then slowly adding more until the group reaches four to six members. He emphasizes the importance of setting ground rules - regular meetings, confidentiality, and commitment to mutual assistance. Groups of unemployed job seekers generally move more quickly, while those still employed may prefer a slower pace, so it is best not to mix the two. The meetings themselves are structured but not burdensome: brief updates, requests for help, and deeper discussions where the group tackles a specific challenge. The magic lies not in formal leadership but in the willingness of peers to listen and respond openly. By reframing the job search as a team activity, individuals regain hope, momentum, and perspective.

Another crucial shift Terry proposes involves rethinking networking. Too often, candidates view networking as a way of asking others for favors, which feels awkward and transactional. Instead, he suggests approaching conversations as opportunities for market research. Asking former colleagues for honest feedback about past performance can reveal both hidden strengths and areas to improve. Seeking advice on how others might navigate a transition generates insights that wouldn’t emerge from going it alone. Even recruiters, often treated as gatekeepers to jobs, can become valuable sources of information if approached as experts in assessing which roles fit a candidate’s background. This mindset turns networking into an exchange of knowledge rather than a desperate plea for help, making it more comfortable and far more effective.

Before rushing into applications, Terry advises that job seekers slow down for self-discovery. Many people, eager to escape unemployment or an unsatisfying role, apply indiscriminately and end up facing rejection after rejection. Worse, they sometimes land roles that are poorly matched and quickly lead to burnout. By contrast, pausing to define personal 'must-haves' and 'must-nots' helps sharpen the search. Terry recommends inversion thinking: begin with what you absolutely don’t want, then flip those negatives into positive requirements. For example, if constant travel is intolerable, then a must-have might be 'minimal travel obligations.' Trusted peers and mentors, or a JSC, can provide valuable feedback in clarifying these lists. Combined with gratitude exercises - such as writing letters to those who have supported one’s career, even if they are never sent - this process strengthens resilience and prevents discouragement from derailing the search.

Market research is equally vital. Terry recounts the story of a seasoned media executive whose attempts to leap into senior Silicon Valley roles went nowhere because his background didn’t align with tech firms’ expectations. Rather than give up, he accepted a more junior role in order to gain credibility in the industry. The temporary step back ultimately led him to the leadership position he originally wanted. The lesson is that success requires recognizing the reality of 'Candidate-Market Fit.' Instead of insisting on a role that the market doesn’t yet validate, smart candidates adapt their strategies to align with where opportunities truly exist. Updating résumés and LinkedIn profiles to reflect these targeted paths is essential, and a JSC can provide candid peer reviews to sharpen positioning.

The book also reframes interviews as two-way evaluations. Too often, candidates focus solely on impressing employers and forget to ask whether the company genuinely deserves their talents. Terry urges readers to investigate organizations much like detectives: look for signals in leadership communication, study employee reviews, and ask tough, specific questions during interviews about culture, conflict resolution, and failures. Drafting a 90-day action plan to present during interviews not only demonstrates initiative but also forces both sides to clarify expectations. Afterward, consulting trusted mentors or JSC members helps counteract the excitement or anxiety that might cloud judgment, ensuring choices are made with a clear head.

Negotiation, often the most intimidating stage, becomes another opportunity for teamwork. Many candidates accept offers too quickly, fearing that negotiating will cause them to lose the role. Terry points out that this fear is largely unfounded - companies expect negotiation and usually leave room in their budgets for counteroffers. In fact, over four-fifths of those who negotiate receive better terms, yet many, particularly women and minorities, miss out by not asking. Using a JSC to rehearse conversations, research compensation benchmarks, and frame requests makes a huge difference. Beyond salary, candidates can negotiate for resources that will enhance their ability to succeed: budget allocations, training opportunities, or team support. Such negotiations set the stage for long-term growth rather than short-term gain.

Throughout the book, the underlying theme is clear: job seeking doesn’t have to be lonely or disempowering. With the right support structures, deliberate reflection, and informed strategies, individuals can transform the process into an experience of growth and discovery. By embracing community through councils, reframing networking as learning, clarifying personal values, conducting honest market research, evaluating employers as carefully as they evaluate you, and negotiating with confidence, candidates open the door not just to a new job but to a career path aligned with their strengths and aspirations.

Ultimately, "Never Search Alone" by Phyl Terry delivers both practical tools and emotional reassurance. It reminds job seekers that although the market can feel overwhelming, no one needs to endure the process in isolation. By reaching out, building councils of trust, and approaching the search with clarity and confidence, individuals not only land better roles but also strengthen their professional lives in the long run. In a world where careers are constantly evolving and transitions are inevitable, Terry’s message is both timeless and timely: success is more attainable, and more sustainable, when you never search alone.

Not since Richard Bolles book titled, "What color is your parachute" has a book made such a life changing impact on how I think about my career and job searching.

News alert. We are in a new type of job market now. With the rate of change, influences and changing of jobs from tech and specifically AI, this is no longer your parent's job market. It's now a requirement that every successful professional re-learn and master the new skills of job searching.

The days of 20 year runs at companies are long gone. According to the book, there are an average of 12.3 times that people go through a job change between the ages of 18-52

This book, written by Phyl Terry, is essentially a playbook of sets of activities and skill sets that you need to be successful in the job search. There's essentially five steps in the process and like most processes the first step is the most important because if you get it wrong you are off in the wrong direction.

Five steps
1) Create a group to do the search with: Job Search Council
2)Go out and listen to others in the market - Listening tour
3)Understand how your skills match the market- Candidate market fit
4)Purposefully networking and interviewing
5)Negotiate and land job


This book was being developed for years by Phyl Terry. He uses significant research backed with real-life examples to prove and illustrate the points. I recommend this for anyone in business.

**Highly Recommended**

As a product person, I am super familiar with product life cycle, because it is the bread and butter of any product deliverable ecosystem.

This strikes a chord because WE are the product and it's important to know our "market" so we can meet the needs of the "customers" aka companies.

On the other hands it is just as important to recognize, the companies we are considering to work for ARE the products for users (us candidates), so we also need to do user exp testing to see if these companies or jobs or teams are a good fit. It's both sides.

Lastly, you can't do this alone, it has been a great exp working with "strangers" figuring out my career roadmap. It brings perspectives you usually don't have natural access to UNLESS you are intentionally looking for people who have the same caliber, in the same phase (job search), and yet outside of your normal circle.

I highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn about self and put into practice that actually matters.

[Mohamed Nijadi · Rating 2 out of 5]

The idea of learning to ask for help from the right people is very good and practical.
Personally, the too many examples and stories presented in the book made it boring to read. I have read the first 100 pages and then skimmed the rest because the ideas and perspective were eye-opening.

[Frieda · Rating 3 out of 5]

The author offers a strategy that is implemented before the "traditional" job search that entails updating the resume and LinkedIn profile and networking activities. They recommend creating a Job Search Council, which consists of individuals in your personal network who are also searching for a new job. The purpose of this council is to assist each other in preparing and landing the desired job, as well as pinpointing blind spots each member may have. The author also recommends conducting a "listening tour" where the job seeker obtains information about what the market is looking for and how they may fit. The fit may differ from career goals, but the purpose is to find a job that can lead you to the ultimate career goal that you may have for yourself.

Essentially, this is a step-by-step process in becoming more self-aware about your career path and goals and how to achieve them incrementally. Once the research and support has been established, the author recommends preparing your marketing materials that align with the Candidate-Market Fit statement. This is a concise statement that focuses on exactly what the job seeker is looking for in light of the market. For instance, if the goal is to become an Executive Director, but the job seeker's current experience is at the program director level, there are additional roles that must be taken that lead up to the C-Suite role.

I gave the book three stars because the author was constantly plugging in his services and website throughout the book. To download a free template, you must provide your contact details. I do not wish to be "hassled" with emails marketing their services. Otherwise, he provides a different approach to job seeking - which is worth testing out.

Thoughts/Reflections: A Storygraph reader criticizes this book as aimed at a narrow market — white collar, tech industry mid to senior level executives. While I’m not an executive by any definition, I fit the rest of that market niche. This book (and the job search council and support materials provided) have been extremely helpful in what has been the most terrifying job search I’ve undertaken. I’m glad I found it.

My favorite words:

“Keep in mind that this job search playbook is like a cookbook. You don't get the nutritional value from reading. You get it from putting it into action.”

“In high school and college, we get rewarded primarily for the grades we get on tests. In our formative years, we thus learn that asking for help is cheating.”

“Let's be clear: recruiters search LinkedIn. They run filters. If you don't have the attributes they are looking for, then you won't get found. Like with consumer products, you never should lie. But you need to make sure that you position yourself to be found. Synchronize your skills and experience to the job you are looking for.”

“We all tend to see ourselves through a distorted funhouse mirror…”

“When you do get that job, of course, reach out and thank each person individually. You will bring enormous joy to them when you do. This literally sprinkles more happiness in the world.”

“...this is a non-linear and iterative process.”

“It almost doesn't matter if you don't have all the right data - don't make perfect the enemy of good.”

Like many nonfiction books, this could be much shorter than the 235 pages it is. Many of the examples come from C-suite leadership at big companies and/or folks with over 20 years of experience. I’m not at that point in my career, but I still found the main points helpful: create a Job Search Council with weak connections who are also looking for new jobs, and meet regularly with them over the next 3-6 months of your job search. Candidly ask previous colleagues about your weaknesses and reflect on your strengths and priorities in your job search. Learn about the job market by building connections with recruiters (not to get jobs but to get feedback about what jobs would be easy to get, a stretch, out of your league). Then, identify your candidate-market fit and get a peer to edit your resume and LinkedIn to ensure they convey that. Finally, you can start applying and interviewing to jobs. The author talks about red flags (when you should say no to an opportunity) and shares frameworks for how to negotiate (especially bonuses).
One of the best parts of this book is that the author has a summary at the end of each chapter and extra resources to read (other books and articles on the authors website) and a two page summary at the end.

This book (and community) opened my eyes to approach the job search in more proactive and intentional ways.
I've never thought before on a job search to slow down, do some research on different career paths, talk to recruiters how the job market sees me, collect feedback from former co-workers and managers and other useful strategies while working with others in the same boat as you.
I'm grateful Phyl Terry had the realization that we all need emotional support and guidance during the rollercoaster of a job search. Plus, working with others in a Job Search Council (or JSC) can help us gain new perspectives and motivation in our own search.
Phyl broke this book down into very digestible and easy-to-understand chapters.
Highly recommend this book as a guide to breaking down the job search process, getting clarity on your search and for negotiating parts of a job offer and what you need to succeed.

[Matt Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

The concept of Never Search Alone is sound. Having that support group and building your network while in the search is always invaluable. His approach to finding your "fit" in the market (candidate market fit as he refers to it) is the most solid point of the 200 pages in my opinion. Just like emerging products have to validate exactly what problem they're solving and how, he encourages the user and tells stories about how retrofitting that same process for your job search can yield better long-term results.

Overall, Never Search Alone is an easy read and a good resource for any job seeker, especially if you're in leaning towards leadership roles. My only small gripe is that some of his wording and conveying is repetitive (e.g. the recaps at the end of the chapters) however worth the quick read if you're in the market.

[Richard · Rating 4 out of 5]

Have a career? You likely do! This book is a must-have resource that will help you navigate your next move by focusing on three things: 1) better understanding yourself and your candidate-market fit, 2) using help from others to support you with your search, and 3) negotiating an offer.

I've read many books, some better than others, promising to help with resume writing, LinkedIn profile tweaking, job finding sites, outplacement services, recruiters, interviewing skills, and negotiation. Never Search Alone approaches your job search differently with practical advice, useful tools, and a human-centered approach. Regardless of your position, make Never Search Alone your FIRST step when looking for your next opportunity.

[Marcela · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a job seeker, I found this book very helpful. It was much more strategic than most books I've read and went beyond the typical this is how you fix your resume and do well in interviews. it's more about putting together a team and doing the self-analysis and background research to find the right job. The advice is good for people at a variety of levels from entry-level to C-suite. It had interactive exercises with downloadable templates from the book's websites. It has many examples and a synopsis of takeaways at the end of every chapter. I took lots of notes and hope to put this into practice for my next job search.

[Carlyn Sylvester · Rating 4 out of 5]

Currently halfway through a career break / sabbatical, and a friend of mine recommended this as I start to explore and ask myself "what's next?"

Not the most brilliantly written book, but it's a quick and approachable read with some great philosophies around how to think about what you want, what you don't want, and how to thoughtfully approach the path to finding the right career, role, company. Fellow product and marketing folks will especially resonate with some of the nuggets in here, as one of the primary theses revolves around the idea of finding your "candidate-market fit" using product-market fit strategies.

[Kelly]

Very helpful. Should’ve read it months ago when I bought it! My job search council/coworking crew is a true lifesaver (I cannot imagine doing this alone, esp in this market… WOOF) and the book gave me a lot of good ideas for how to use our time well. Also good ideas for interview questions, how to identify a good fit, and negotiating for support to set myself up for success in a job from the outset. Overall, it’s an empowering book—though I fully agree with the top reviewer, Matthew, about the narrow target audience (higher level roles than what I ever plan to go for) being a bit of an obstacle to relatability and usefulness.

Never Search Alone: The Job Seeker’s Playbook gave me hope and a completely new way of approaching my job search. There's also an arsenal of online materials supporting the processes in the book with volunteers actively updating them as of April 2024. Any book that helps change my mindset while providing excellent firsthand research and support to do it, gets nothing less than 5 stars from me.

This book is excellent. I've already recommended it to multiple people. Concrete recommendations, many tools available for download, and recommends a process that will resonate strongly with anyone with a tech/product/design background.

I tend to be very skeptical of business books since so many of them feel oriented towards men, and a certain type of man, at that. Appreciated that this book thoughtfully addressed how women, people of color, introverts, and other people who aren't the usual audience for business books may encounter different experiences on the job market.

I learned about Never Search Alone from a trusted former coworker who had read the book and participated as a volunteer moderator for the accompanying Job Search Council, a free community where you're matched with peer job searchers to read and do the exercises in the book together. Inspired by his example which led him to land a terrific new role, I decided to moderate a JSC and am so glad I did! The book and community have exceeded my expectations and provided useful tools and support in my job search journey.

If you're looking for a job or thinking about switching jobs then this book is for you. In addition to the advice found on the pages there is an entire community of job seekers led by the author and an army of volunteers dedicated to helping job seekers land their next gig.
It's truly incredible what Phyl has accomplished.
I recommend this book and I recommend joining a Job Search Council if you're looking for a job.
