Publisher's summary

"A game-changer for anyone who feels like they're waiting for their 'real' career to start. You can either read Alexa’s book, or keep having the 'Sunday Scaries' for the rest of your f*cking life. You pick." (Sarah Knight, New York Times best-selling author of Get Your Sh*t Together)

An easy-to-follow, nine-step process for how to land your dream job and cut through the noise of job-searching in the 21st century.

This program is read by the author.

Banging your head against the wall about the job search? Wondering why nobody’s even bothering to send you a rejection letter (much less an interview request)? You are not alone. This process is a beast, but there’s good news: #ENTRYLEVELBOSS is the audiobook for you. This is an easy-to-follow road map for transforming yourself from frustrated job seeker into hired, happy, productive human.

One part behind-the-scenes memoir, one part playbook, #ENTRYLEVELBOSS lays out career coach Alexa Shoen’s proven nine-step methodology for approaching the job search during these crazy times we’re living through. Think of it like a fitness plan - except instead of killer abs, you wind up with multiple interviews for a bunch of jobs you actually want. Cool, right?

This is not another manifesto about finding your passion. (I mean, yes, let’s find your passion, sure, but the rent is also due and I would assume you’re interested in getting paid.) This is a real plan that’s based on the real rules of the game. You’ll learn how to effectively identify your future hiring manager, for example, and slide into their DMs in the least creepy way possible.

Alexa Shoen is the internet’s leading confidant for panicking job seekers. She has guided thousands of people into full-time employment using these exact steps. Even if you’re convinced you’re the least hireable person on the planet, Alexa’s got you covered.

Insightful & Engaging the whole way through!

Alexa proves herself to be a master at navigating the complexities of the modern job market and offers invaluable tips on how to cut through the BS that trap most job seekers in a never-ending loop of application fatigue. Thank you so much for helping me score an internship & all of my jobs throughout my undoubtedly soon-to-be successful career!

Excellent book! Super relatable!

I have so many bookmarks! Alexa does a wonderful job at bringing the modern job search to greater clarity. This is a must read even if you're not actively job hunting yet and even if you've already had a couple of jobs!

24yr old almost burnt out

Think you’ve heard all the job searching advice? I did too. Shoen goes in depth with examples and love how she lays out each step. It is a lot of work to market yourself, and Shoen does a great job with keeping you encouraged while revamping your techniques.

The best book on careers in at least 2 generations

This is, hands down, the best book on job hunting and careers I have ever read. And, as someone who helps bright young graduates find jobs, I have read more than a few. With humor and humility, Alexa doles out sane, relatable, and (crucially) actionable advice that will help any job seeker navigate the job search in the digital age. It’s filled with concrete examples of resumes, outreach emails, LinkedIn content and more that readers can easily adapt and apply in a cinch. Her methodology will help job seekers at any level, but if you are - or someone you know is - just graduating or otherwise relatively new to the workforce this book should be required reading (or listening).

As for the audio, Alexa is a beautiful narrator. Her voice and intonation make listening a pleasure.

Can not recommend this book highly enough.

This is a memoir

The first hour of the Audio book is the author talking about her personal life, and it’s very self congratulatory. Very millennial.
