It can be enervating, stressful and, occasionally, triumphal-looking for work has never been more of a roller coaster. Now, in compelling testimonies, Search Work shares that experience, giving voice to those on the wild ride of finding a job.

Search Workasks what we uncover when we pause and examine the textures of something as mundane and tedious as the job hunt. In this anthology, made up of personal essays, archival job ads, labor research, and even a playscript, over fifty contributors reflect on the rituals, cultural artifacts, and emotional turbulence of looking for work. Their collective inquiry shows how and why the quest for a paycheck almost always morphs into something deeper-a search for belonging, a referendum on identity, a macro view of the systemic forces that govern our lives.Through a variety of formats and voices,Search Workshows howthe laborof looking does more than land us a new job; itreshapes desire and alters our sense of self, sometimes for good.

The book was inspired by a free weekly newsletter that editor Rachel Meade Smith started tenyears ago, Words of Mouth, which shares curated jobs and opportunities with an engaged community of over 70,000.From this community,Search Workbrings together a diverse group of contributors-writers, artists, public servants, researchers, service workers, career changers, recent grads-to defang one of life's loneliest activities through an act of collaborative creation.

As entry-level paths vanish and AI redraws the labor map,Search Workoffers a timely,refreshingly critical inquiry into the isolating andoftenabsurd experience of job hunting.
