Move Your AE

Do you feel like you've been passed up for a promotion, skipped for recognition or simply ignored in your job search in the past year? Perhaps you've been experiencing an invisible sensation as you attempt to strive ahead on your career journey or job search.

When you feel unfilled in your career, it can lead to an overall sensation of disengagement in your life.

Similar to when the infamous "Check-Engine" light comes on in your car, your "Check-Career" light is illuminating, and you need to take action. The light is on to warn you of the VUCA in the job market – Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. Move Your Æ (ash) guides you through the minefields of the job market to get your career, and your life back on track.

Paul Carney, Move Your Æ's author, has served in various roles and developed expertise in the job market with over three decades in human resources in-depth exploration, learning and coaching people in situations just like yours. Carney has harnessed his skillset to bring you real, honest advice in his unique approach to find your dream job and contribution to the world.

Move Your Æ is right for you if:

• You feel a college degree and specific skill sets are not serving you fully
• You are applying to jobs with radio silence
• You're feeling frustrated without recognition for your contributions at your job
• You've had enough of watching coworkers move up the ladder or follow a path you desire, and feel your qualified for

Carney says, while you were busy being busy, the career value of your education, skills, talents, experiences and credentials has changed. It is a new game for job seekers and promotion-hopeful employees, and this book will help you navigate it.

In the book, you will learn the exact formulas many hiring firms use to calculate your value in the job marketplace. New technologies, process improvements and a globally-connected workforce will leave you anonymously unemployed if you do not learn the new system.

The Solution?

It is time to speak the same language as many hiring companies, managers and human resources professionals so you can master your future.

First, Take Control of Your Career!

Whether you are just starting your career or have years of experience, Carney will show you how to unlock the power of your Æ (ash) to derive maximum benefit from your career value.

The Æ brings together the three requirements to take control of your career: You must know, grow, and show your career value. Often, individuals feel intimidated to show and promote their own value to their leaders and potential employers.

We show you how to not only put together the story of what you did to drive business results, but we explain how to get others to tell the story for you. It is more credible when other people tell your story for you.
