Rudy Ridolfo
Rudy Ridolfo has worked over 50 jobs — and walked away from most of them. Before writing Job Junky, he spent years in the world of independent film, chasing stories that didn’t follow a script and jobs that didn’t require a résumé. Job Junky is a punchy, darkly funny memoir about work, burnout, and escape, told in raw, standalone chapters that feel more like confessions than career advice. Ridolfo writes under a pen name, not because he’s elusive — just because he’s got future job interviews to think about. He currently lives somewhere between shifts.
