TIM MCMAHON - CORPORATE HIPPY BIO:
I grew up in a middle class 'religious' family in the Southern suburbs of Sydney, Australia. Starting my working life as a cabinet maker, I moved into photography and trained professionally for six years. In the mid-1990's, I took up a career in sales and management within the rapidly growing IT industry, as well as modeling part-time for a leading agency and fulfilling my passion for motor racing.
After fifteen years in the cut-throat world of corporate IT, failing health and immense personal losses caused my life to spin dangerously out of control. Having several massive wake-up calls, I took a risky step and walked away from all I knew: my career, status and what was left of my family.
In search of meaningful life experiences and of course the perfect photograph, I embarked on a six-month trip around South America, which turned out to be over ten years and still counting. Throughout my "adventurous journeys", I came to some harsh realizations about myself, life and a newly emerging perception of the world I thought I lived in. Over time, the odyssey began to unravel leaving me with no option of turning back to my old ways of life.
I have visited over 70 countries living, working and studying in Australia, Bali, Ecuador, India, Spain, Vietnam and Thailand in my search for understanding the human experience, and looking for the answer to the big question of 'why we do what we do?'
I am now working on a new Book Series (The Little Human Handbook) on the lessons I have learned from traveling the world experiencing different cultures, foods, religions, beliefs, and a whole lot more!
My journey continues...
WHY I DO WHAT I DO:
I have been very fortunate and unfortunate enough to have experienced so many life situations, be they good, bad or indifferent. The best thing was I had endless amounts of help, information and people to assist me in those challenging and confusing times.
However, a lot of the time I did find it baffling to decode the information, theories and tools to assist me in a practical way. Paying the lessons learnt forward in sharing with others honors my experiences. It gives them reason and my life a sense of meaning.
So, to sharing the information, theories and tools learned from over 25 years of experience in corporate, travel, different cultures, self-development and spiritual-hippy stuff (mental health) i...
The Book of JOB is not just about the typical tried, true (and tired) techniques of job hunting. It's full of fresh ideas about how to "Sell YOU" as you find and win the job you really want. Tim McMahon knows job searching and knows today's new technologies - together this makes for an incredibly powerful and exciting new book that redefines the job hunt!
"This book should be required reading starting with college sophomores (to be re-read every two years until retirement, then read one more time to map out one's Golden Years). Tim, where were you when I was graduating college 'Summa cum This Close' with a degree for which I had no passion? Dripping with knowledge, rock-solid advice and humor, "The Book of JOB" is a guide to career success, wherever you choose to seek it!" -- Steve Gamlin, bestselling author of "20 To Life – The Good Way"

"Tim McMahon has finally made the "strategy and execution" of seeking a job as practical as possible. This isn't advice; like the title says, it's the "Bible" – must do's – of the journey to find the fun we call "a job." His use of stories and humor make "Job" an enjoyable and easy read of his profound principles used to lead the reader to, first, think about their search strategy and then design it hand-in-hand with the plan's execution. Tim makes his readers understand what the job means to the seeker and what the seeker means to the job. "The Book of Job" is a must have tool for the search." Jonathan Narducci, CornerStone Cubed – Execution by Design.

The Book of Job should be read by any person in an employment search. Job covers all facets the search process with humor and insight and allows people, at all career levels, to retool their tactics for a successful search. I sent the book to my kids, It's that good. -- Alexander Berol, SPHR, Principal & Senior HR Consultant

I just finished reading The Book of Job, by Tim McMahon. I found it an excellent book, packing huge amounts of practical advice into a relatively short read. It is well written, well organized, and goes straight to the point in each section.
Tim is a great salesman, and this book helps you develop strategies for selling yourself to an employer. It offers dos and don'ts, from the process of figuring out what you want to do, networking, marketing yourself (including social networking), developing your resume, applying and interviewing. I was reminded of some things I had known but been overlooking, and I learned a number of new things. Perhaps for me was the concept and list of "Positive Weaknesses". This has always been a section of interviews that I hated, and Tim's approach was very hopeful. If you are in the market for a job, then this book can help.
