These are some of the books I've published over the years. My work is really focused on taking your career and life from "average" to the "next level".
From "Average" to "Executive"
How to Plan and Execute Your Dream Career One Step at a Time
Have you ever wondered why there are some people who come to work have “careers” as opposed to “jobs”? Have you ever wondered why there are a few people who rise up the corporate ranks with ease and then there are some others who stay in their current role for a long period of time? Have you wondered why there are some people who come to work excited and happy to work making an impact on a day to day basis to world around them and then there are some others who are always complaining that they hate their jobs?
If the answers to any of these questions is yes, then "From Average to Executive” is for you. This book is a step by step plan to take your career from where you are to the next level in your life. If you want to follow the same strategies as 6 and 7 figure executives, if you want to follow the same strategies that Kunal used to take his career from an entry level engineer to the Chief Operating Officer of a private software company, then this book is for you.
This book is not only about the theory. It’s about the practical. Kunal puts together useful exercises for you at the end of each chapter so that you can start executing on your dream career as soon as possible.
Start With a Vision, End With a Job Offer
How you too can get job offers from Microsoft, Amazon, Bridgwater Associates, Groupon and many more?
When it comes to interviewing most candidates have no idea how to absolutely blow away their future employers. With "Start with a Vision, End with a Job Offer", Kunal puts his 15 years of experience as an interviewer and interviewee to create a guide to help you absolutely ace your upcoming interview. He believes that each student and professional has the potential to join the ranks of some of the greatest companies in the world - companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and others. All you need is a plan that you can follow in a step by step manner.
Just like Kunal took his career from an entry level engineer to the Chief Operating Officer of a private software company, he believes that every individual can set out to do the same. But that starts by defining a vision for your life. Then its about executing on that vision. Kunal intends to show you the path to a successful job search and interview process. By the end of this book, you will not only have your ideal job offer in hand, but you would've created so much leverage during your interviewer that interviewers would have no option but to give you your dream offer. But more importantly you will do it one step at a time with tons of theory and even more homework to complete at the end of each chapter.
Promotionary
A Step by Step Plan to Get Promoted at Work in 90 Days
Have you wondered what does it take to get promoted at work? Most people work hard in their jobs, but when it comes to getting promoted, there is almost always someone else ahead of them. On one extreme there are people who believe that the only way to get promoted is to talk your way through the corporate structure. On the other extreme, there are people who believe that working hard and doing good work is the only way to go. Kunal disagrees with both these approaches.
To get promoted, your boss and his or her peers need to think that you are better than your peers. That's when you will get promoted. But how do you do that? You've got to do really good work, you've got to build a network of people who know and talk about the impact of your good work and you will need to recruit mentors in your company who can put you in the front of high impact projects.
That's exactly why I created the book "Promotionary". In this book, I've laid out a step by step process to get you promoted in the next 90 days. You will learn exactly what it takes to get a promotion from your current level, following one step at a time, one day at a time.
These are the exact steps that Kunal followed took to take my career from an entry level employee to the Chief Operating Officer of a private software company. For the first time Kunal has put all knowlegde into one promotion mastery blueprint called "Promotionary".
Searchabilty
15 Steps to 15 Job Interviews, One Step at a Time
80% of all jobs filled in a given month are filled through the “Hidden Job Market”. What you see online - on company websites, on job boards etc. etc. represent only 20% of all inventory. No “Recruiting Agencies” don’t hold the remaining. On top of that 95% of all candidates looking for jobs go after the 20%.
6 and 7 figure executives tap into the hidden job market and Kunal intends to show you exactly how to do that with his new book “Searchability”.
With “Searchability”, Kunal has put together a 15 step process to implement a strategy called the “Inbound Outbound” strategy to help you tap into this hidden job market, so that you too can get a 6 or even a 7 figure job.
Kunal’s style of teaching uses a combination of theory and practice. Expect to learn a concept, but then go back and do some homework. Kunal believes that the best students are the ones who do the homework at the end of each chapter.
With “Searchability”, the guesswork from job searching in today’s competitive and global job market is taken out of the picture. All of you have to do is follow along, one step at a time to your dream job.
Get What You Are Worth
A Step by Step Approach to evaluate your job offer and negotiate your pay package
Have you ever felt that you have been stuck in a job rut in your life, doing the same things again and again and not knowing where your career is going?
Have you have ever felt like quitting your job only to realize you made a mistake by joining in the first place?
Have you wondered why there are some folks who can take their careers all the way to the “next level” becoming executives and getting promotion after promotion regularly and then there are some others who are pretty much stuck in a job they hate, only going to work for the sake of a paycheck?
Have you ever wondered why don’t you get paid enough relative to your peers and wish you had negotiated a better pay package?
If the answer to any of the questions above is “Yes”, then most likely you either taken up a job that doesn’t match to your long-term career goals, your personal preferences and your likes and dislikes or you don’t get paid relative to what you can bring to the table.
If you’re wondering what does it take to select a job that matches your long-term goals, one that matches your values, one that is fulfilling and rewarding and one that pays you what you are worth, then “Get What You are Worth” is for you.
In this book, Kunal breaks down the process of evaluating a job offer and negotiating your package into 7 steps, that he believes can take your career from “Average” to the “Next Level”. He will show you the same strategies used by 6 and 7 figure executives to evaluate job offers and negotiate their pay packages to get them to that multiple 6 and 7 figure mark. Now those same strategies are available to you.
Kunal’s approach to teaching uses a combination of theory and practice to help you succeed. Expect to learn tons of concepts, but expect to do even more homework at the end of each chapter. All you have to do is follow along one step at a time.
