Being good at your job is not the same as getting hired for it.
Many skilled professionals assume their experience speaks for itself, but hiring doesn’t work that way. It rewards those who understand how to signal value, build trust quickly, and navigate a system built to screen people out.
Drawing from two decades in the room where hiring decisions are made, The Job of Landing a Job teaches you how to approach the job search as its own craft. You’ll learn how to position your strengths, avoid common traps, and move through each stage with clarity and control.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked despite being qualified, this book will show you why, and what to do next.
Itay writes to help good people get hired. After years hiring at Google, running a recruiting firm, and coaching thousands, he saw too many skilled candidates miss out—not for lack of talent, but for lack of strategy.
His writing gives job seekers the tools to take control: clear steps, honest insights, and a focus on what actually works. Whether through books, blogs, or his company Application Owl, his goal is simple—to level the playing field and turn potential into opportunity.
