Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn about becoming an author on the side. Has anyone heard about such a thing?!? The person said she’s worked with 800 consultants writing their books and marketing it for them.

It’s pretty easy to become an Amazon best seller if you pick a super niche category. That might be part of the gimmick.

Best seller at zombie DYI vegan cookbooks

If you want to pay someone to ghostwrite a book for you that likely won’t sell more than 10 copies, you can give it a whirl.

Keep in mind though if the topic is work related, you’d likely need your firm’s approval before publishing it.

Yes it’s called freedom, you can always be an author for weekends no one has to tell you that

A Georgetown professor (Prof Koester) I know does this, cold Linked-inning folks to write books. I can’t figure out what the rub is.

Not fake. It’s just a book agent trying to market what you know.

Author? Or successful author?

A successful author!

I have seen any LinkedIn profiles saying best selling author. Ex-d. Ex-EY.

So Ill say pretty hard.

Chinese spy!!

The guy from the Christian faith publishing commercials sounds legit. I’d give it go.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

If a recruiter asks me if I’ve spoken to another recruiter at the company, is it okay if I lie and say no? Or should I just be honest and say yes? I’ve heard of instances where candidates have been ghosted if they say they’ve been in contact with another recruiter. In my case, the recruiter I was in contact with messaged me on LinkedIn and never followed up after our 5 minute phone conversation. I really want this job so I don’t want to mess anything up before getting an interview.
