Somewhat insightful but didn’t tell me much I didn’t know.

A really great book. I have been using the techniques in the book and it is a slow and steady process. I think a lot of people are scared of networking and this book does break it down and make it easy. I just need to actually do it...

Yes. Yes. Yes. YES!! If only this book had been published nine months ago...
I first learned about Alexa Shoen and #ELB while perusing LinkedIn for fun (as job seekers do)--she's a fellow Notre Dame alum and was featured on the ND start-up/innovation page, the IDEA Center. Such sweet serendipity.
Shoen's advice is refreshing, real, and effective. I also laughed a lot (see quote below).
Interestingly, I was reading this book while also participating in weekly Fulbright "Securing the Next Job" seminars, which left me feeling deflated because it was the same bland advice I'd been internalizing and applying without success for months.
Now, I feel equipped to approach the job search confidently and constructively. Wish me luck!!
During my undergrad, the career center asked if I was interested in teaching elementary school. I said no. They asked if I wanted to pursue law school. I said no. Their final suggestion was ti sign up for missionary work in Africa. And I'm, like, not Catholic. When I finished a master's in music, nobody suggested anything at all.

This woman has been giving out advice since 2016. And since then, her advice has helped me land jobs every time. Even if it isn’t for an entry level role. I do have to say her advice works best for fields like Tech (I used it to land a role in more traditional architecture but I had to tone it down) where the world is a bit more informal and you’re asked to show more of your personality. Maybe this should be more about how to land a job in tech?

#ENTRYLEVELBOSS is the read for you if you’ve been banging your head with job searching or you’ve got no idea how to get out of your current role and into something you actually love … Mixed with a solid dose of humour and emotional support, this one is a great career self-help book.
