PARSIPPANY โ The Parsippany Public Library will host “The Lonely Job Search Book Launch & Networking Event” on Monday, June 30 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Main Branch on Halsey Road. The hybrid event is open to both in-person and virtual attendees.
The evening marks the official launch of “The Lonely Job Search,” a new book by Parsippany resident and career coach Paul Cecala that addresses the emotional toll of extended unemployment while offering practical guidance for job seekers looking to reinvigorate their search.
“We want our community members to know they do not have to walk this job search path alone,” said Heidi Jensen, Program and Outreach Coordinator for the Parsippany Library Main Branch. “This event is more than a book launch โ it is the potential launchpad for a brand-new, ongoing library program dedicated to supporting local job seekers year-round.”
The program will include remarks from Al “The Hired Guy” Smith, a career expert who wrote the book’s foreword, joining live via Zoom. A panel discussion moderated by executive recruiter and Razzino Associates founder Janelle Razzino will feature Cecala alongside Jeanette Warren, a career readiness coach and adjunct professor at Rowan University, and Gus Baxter, a Certified Life Coach and Assistant Director of the Center for Career Development at Drew University.
In-person attendees will have the opportunity to network, enjoy refreshments, and attend a book signing with Cecala. Copies of “The Lonely Job Search” will be available for purchase, with 20% of proceeds benefiting the Parsippany Public Library.
