Author Description

Are You Still Watching? (Yes, I'm Still Unemployed) is not your typical "how I landed my dream job" success story. It's a raw, hilarious, and painfully relatable journey through the corporate ghost towns, LinkedIn purgatories, and motivational poster betrayals that define modern job hunting - and the even bigger quest to find yourself underneath it all. Meet Alex: a man who once applied for a job as a goat yoga instructor at 3 a.m., accidentally attended an interview in avocado pajama pants, and found his greatest mentor in a raccoon rummaging through his trash. Along the way, he starts the Anti-Networking Club (because small talk is a crime), hosts an unemployment anniversary party with a Netflix "Are you still watching?" theme, and finally discovers that maybe the dream worth chasing isn't out there at all - it's been inside him (and buried under pizza rolls) the whole time. This is a love letter to anyone who's ever felt lost, ghosted, overqualified, underappreciated, or just plain stuck on life's endless buffering screen. It's for those who've been told to "just vibe higher," those who rage-cry at rejection emails, and those who still dare to dream even when no one is watching. Through 75 laugh-out-loud chapters - each more unhinged and cathartic than the last - Alex invites you to embrace your glorious mess, let go of borrowed dreams, and write your own story (with or without raccoon mentors). Funny. Honest. Unexpectedly hopeful. If you've ever whispered "No" to yet another networking invite, debated selling invisible products to fund your avocado toast habit, or wondered if you're the only one talking to motivational posters in the middle of the night - this book is for you. It's time to hit "continue watching" on your own life.
