About this title

Synopsis

"A funny, delightful, and incisive tour of working odd jobs." -Kirkus

"Wild... Reading this book is a ride." -Independent Book Review

"Fast, matter-of-fact, and full of memorable moments." -San Francisco Book Review

"Insightful, humorous, and engaging." -The US Review of Books

Job Junky is a bare-bones memoir of work, survival, and everything in between.

Told in raw, rapid-fire chapters, it reads more like a barstool confession than a polished life story - and it all started with a doorman who told the author he didn't know what real work was.

Rudy Ridolfo worked over 50 jobs across decades of survival, from martial arts dojos and moving trucks to call centers, airport tarmacs, and indie film sets.

Each job is its own story - gritty, sometimes absurd, often hilarious - like a friend unloading the strangest parts of his work life over a drink.

There's no tidy character arc or inspirational ribbon at the end. Just real people, chaotic moments, and small truths buried in the noise.

Along the way, he picked up quiet lessons - from chaotic bosses, unpredictable coworkers, and even the discipline of actors like Al Pacino and Robert Redford - whose work ethic left a lasting impression.

Unvarnished, fast, and unexpectedly relatable, Job Junky is for readers who've ever clocked in, burned out, or questioned what they were doing with their lives.

Great for general readers, nontraditional memoir fans, job-hoppers, gig workers, career transitioners, film lovers, and anyone who knows what it's like to survive one paycheck at a time.
