I struggled to find meaningful work - or any work - after getting out of school. I graduated in 2008 - during the worst economy in 80 years - and spent my days spamming my resume to hundreds of companies I didn’t want to work for…and never heard back. It was exhausting. When I changed my strategy, I landed a handful of dream gigs, got to work with amazing people like Tim Ferriss and Ramit Sethi, and found myself turning down multiple paid job offers. Best of all, I was getting paid to work on projects that made me come alive. It was a far cry from the days of begging for soul-crushing work. People kept asking how I did it, so I wrote this free guide on how to use free work to land your dream job.

Critic reviews

“What do Seth Godin, Tucker Max, Ramit Sethi and Tim Ferriss have in common? All of them are NY Times Best Selling authors, have ginormous followings, and are media magnets. Most of us already knew this about them. The one thing they have in common that most do not know is at some point in their careers they all had a level of support from Charlie Hoehn.” - Lewis Howes, author of the #1 LinkedIn Book, Founder of Sports Executives Association“Charlie is one of the most talented marketers and entrepreneurs I’ve ever worked with. A true gem. I highly recommend him.” (Ramit Sethi, New York Times best-selling author of I Will Teach You to Be Rich)

live when your alive , enjoy your work

In this competitive world , it's not easy to stick to your passion. But to make a difference , you have to be different. I have seen a very few number of people with a satisfactory lifestyle , I think it is worth the wait in the initial stages of free service , as described in this book.Thank you for this wonderful book.

Every college students guideline.

I'm grateful I came upon this gem. It completely changes the frame of the job seeking experience and emphasizes a proactive approach. The guidelines Charlie offer demonstrates value for the potential employer. The process includes work and that filters the doers from the "kinda-want it." Good stuff.

Nice tips.

Good book. I am starting my blog right know. Thank very much for sharing this

Worth a listen

I listened to this twice, partly because it was short and partly because it has some useful information in it.

Anyone who's in school, about to graduate, or has already graduated could use this regardless of the stature of the current economy.

What do you have to lose? It's free!

Cheers!

not just for recessions

this would be a great way to transition into a new profession. in my opinion..

Great guidance when I really need it!

This audio book is to the point and directs the reader as to land any dream job.

Thanks Charlie

For the courageous, it's a good listen. Charlie makes you ask the tough questions about the type of work environment you want to be in. He, also, doesn't sugar coat the physically unstructured work environment.

A different approach to landing the dream job

This was a quick listen that was both thought provoking and funny at times.. The work for free concept may open doors and the author sets out a strategy to achieve the goal of landing the elusive dream job. Give it a listen.

I can't agree more

Short and to the point. I love it.
I'll share it to friends, this will fit like a glove.
