Rewrite Your Script

Rewrite Your Script is a job search playbook by career coach Henry M. Lesher. Across eight chapters and eight worksheets, it shows how to pick a target role, write a resume that speaks in results, reach employers before a job is posted, answer "Tell me about yourself" in 60 seconds, and negotiate the whole offer.

“Thanks to the tools and techniques in his book, I landed my dream job and negotiated for what I’m worth.”

What will readers learn?

Readers learn a complete job search method in four parts: mindset and direction, the personal marketing toolkit, proactive hunting in the hidden job market, and interview mastery with compensation. Each chapter ends with a worksheet, so the reader finishes with a target, a resume, an outreach plan and interview answers, not just notes.

  • Retire the job called "I don't know" and target the role you want
  • Turn job duties into resume bullets that speak in dollars and percentages
  • Reach decision-makers before a job is posted, with the "Pain Letter"
  • Answer "Tell me about yourself" in sixty seconds that stick
  • Defer the salary question, then negotiate the whole package
