Tory johnson launches
"fired to hired"
 Congratulations to keynote speaker Tory Johnson on the recent launch of her new book, “FIRED TO HIRED: Bouncing Back from Job Loss to Get to Work Right Now.” At just 22, Tory was fired from her dream job as a publicist at NBC News. What followed is an all too familiar story—days of denial, Häagen-Dazs, and daytime TV. Tory’s pity party turned into a misery marathon until she decided to own up to her new reality and move forward.
After writing a cathartic “Dear Andy” letter to the boss who arrogantly sent her packing, Tory made a cognitive shift—vowing to get going on the next chapter of her life, learning valuable lessons along the way.
She held a few intermediate jobs, and then Tory founded Women For Hire, a leading provider of comprehensive career services for women, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this fall. She also joined “Good Morning America” as workplace contributor. In her role as career guru and mentor, Tory helps people all over the country land a first job, get back to work after time off, or find the career that feeds the wallet and the soul.
With the country’s unemployment rate inching closer to 10 percent; the number of long-term unemployed at its highest level in more than 25 years; and the ranks of the underemployed (forced to take a part-time job when they’d prefer full-time work) swelling, Tory is in the trenches—busier than ever before helping Americans go from helpless to hired.
In her new book, Tory not only provides the tools, knowledge and resources required to get noticed and get hired, but also highlights those extras that often get overlooked – inspiration, motivation and confidence.
Searching for a job isn’t what it was 20 years ago—or even 2 years ago. Today, it’s not enough to be a great candidate; one must be an exceptional jobseeker as well. Loaded with brilliant tips on how to get noticed and get hired, “Fired to Hired” will help readers feel stronger and more ready to face their job hunt.
