The main message of this books seems to be: “Not to have fear!” Fearless résumés, fearless interviewing, fearless career change.

A résumé will be judged 80% on what the reader sees in the first lines. Basically, an employer wants greater profits. Since ageism biases, it is better not to claim more than 10-15 year experience.

In an interview, avoid the imposter syndrome when you are not at all an impostor.

Career change is a question of focusing on what one likes more although be frequently a question of real chances to be ready to catch. Transferable skills and talents make people able to a multiplicity of professions with apparently radically different labels.
