Suzanne Skees

Suzanne Skees just published MY JOB Gen Z: Finding Your Place in a Fast-Changing World, coauthored with Sanam Yusuf.

It's the only book BY, ABOUT, and FOR Generation Z (middle schoolers to mid-twenties) that provides research and survey data on their unique qualities and what they seek from their careers and life; over 100 profiles of unknown and famous Gen Zers working toward or already in their dream jobs; and an extensive "how-to" section on tips for breaking into the workforce, communicating professionally, and building your own dream job.

The book continues Skees's social-mission book series is MY JOB: Real People at Work Around the World, a collection of first-person narratives by taxi drivers, midwives, musicians, technologists, and more, across the U.S. and around the world.

All author royalties from the series fund job-creation programs to end poverty.

Skees also works in international development as founder and storyteller of the Skees Family Foundation (skees.org), which supports vocational training and job-creation programs in the U.S. and developing countries.

Skees studied English literature (Boston College) and world religions (Harvard Divinity School) but has learned more from the school of personal mistakes and quiet listening.

Writing for online and print media, Skees travels from schools to slums, prisons to farms, serving as a storyteller for nonprofit workers, social entrepreneurs, and their courageous clients who toil every day to end poverty and create equality.
