Wayword Book’s own Nancy Murray will be appearing at the Pat Conroy Center, located at 601 Bladen Street Beaufort, SC. 29902, on November 15 from 5:00 – 6:30 pm. Nancy will be reading from her hilarious memoir, No Experience Necessary. Light refreshments will be served and copies of No Experience Necessary, will be available for sales and signing. You can also order ahead here.
In No Experience Necessary, Nancy Murray shares the insights, pitfalls, and strategies that she gleaned along her journey toward meaningful employment. Her stories prove that even so-called nowhere jobs can be crucial steps to not only establishing a career, but to discovering ourselves.
Nancy’s workplace tales span a colorful spectrum, from selling speakers from a seedy van to driving a posh limo; from performing as a professional clown to financial advisor. With each job she profited in ways beyond a traditional paycheck.
Some might consider this a cautionary tale, but it’s also a field guide for anyone preparing to fill out their first job application, not to mention a humorous flashback for those who recall the trials and tribulations of the workplace all too well.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
