Purchase options and add-ons

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.

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 book for you. This is an easy-to-follow roadmap 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 9-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.

Review

"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 bestselling author of Get Your Sh*t Together

"Three cheers for #ENTRYLEVELBOSS. I love Alexa's voice. I love her advice. And I love that she's broken down getting a job into the steps that every twentysomething wants and needs. Anyone who wants that first job–but is not sure how to get it–should read this book." ―Meg Jay PhD, author of The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter and How to Make the Most of Them Now and Supernormal: The Secret World of the Family Hero

Witty, spot-on, and a thoroughly modern approach to the job search process
Let's say you have a cool cousin or older sister -- you know, the one with the dream job who is on top of their game and whose career is going up and up. Let's say you talk all night over a bottle of wine to hear about how she got started and learn all of her "secrets" to success -- and you wrote it all down. With that, my friend, you would have #ENTRYLEVELBOSS. Alexa is your cool cousin, and she's here to help.This book is witty and fun, while being down-to-earth and honest about what it takes to land a job. It was truly enjoyable to read -- part memoir, part self-help guide. As a hiring manager at a "cool tech start-up" (and as a former job seeker), the advice presented in #ENTRYLEVELBOSS is SPOT-ON. (I wish I could send a copy to every candidate application that I turn down!) From dialing into what you actually want in a career, to tactical ways to improve your resume and templates for cover letters, #ENTRYLEVELBOSS provides a realistic playbook for job seekers.And don't let the name fool you! #ENTRYLEVELBOSS is not just for entry level folks! While's it's tailored to those who are new in their career journey, I truly believe that the advice herein is applicable for anyone. Are you a more seasoned employee who never gets past the application stage in your job search? Get this book, read it, and apply Alexa's modern approach to your own job search.

5.0 out of 5 stars Game Changer!

FINALLY! I didn’t know how much I needed this book until after I read it. As a 24 y/o job seeker who’s been searching for a new gig since April (I actually quit my previous position in order to travel the world for a couple months but then LOL coronavirus), the job searching process has been more or less a nightmare. No one ever tells you this stuff, or prepares you for it! And for someone young and ‘inexperienced,’ the process can be all the more daunting, often leaving you (me) feeling stupid or silly for even TRYING. This book validated me and boosted my confidence with every chapter. It also gave me some killer life-changing lessons that make SO MUCH SENSE. Alexa’s ability to detail, step-by-step, the best way to go about the job-search process was truly eye-opening, and her writing style made the book actually enjoyable to read (NOT a chore, like many ‘self-help’ books!). I mostly appreciated the concrete examples and precise “task lists” at the end of each chapter (none of that woohoo objective ‘you’ll find your passion through yoga and meditation’ garbage - concrete, REAL LIFE examples for us to ACTUALLY use!). We’ve been going about this whole thing WRONG, folks! I’m following the new rules I learned in this book now, and have to say I already feel 100x more confident with every application I send in. I actually have my second-round interview on Monday with a job that pays $18,000 more than the last one I applied for (and didn’t get LOL; pre-Entry Level Boss). Thank you, Alexa, for not only writing this book, but for making me feel not so alone - truly means a lot. Can’t wait to keep ya posted on when I find my next gig!

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2021

I’ve never purchased a self help book, nor have I ever read a non fiction book of any kind so quickly. Alexa manages to weave expertly crafted and detailed advice with honesty, humor, and flat out incredible writing. Her kindness and frankness throughout the book is enough just to get you out of the crippled-with-anxiety job hunting rut and boost your confidence, and then there’s the added bonus of TONS of helpful tips with examples and explanations to actually find a job. Everything she lays out about the process is pure genius, and the best part is that it all just feels like really solid advice from a good friend. This book should be required reading for every college senior, no matter the discipline.

This book really gave me a better idea of what I should be doing during my job search. However, I do question the section about resumes a bit. She uses “I” when discussing accomplishments at each position. I have always been told not to do that. Other than that, I have followed almost all of the tips she gave and I’m waiting to hear back about a job offer on Monday!

5.0 out of 5 stars A well written and informative book about the job search
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2021
Verified Purchase
I read through this book in 2 days. It’s written in a way that’s easy to understand and I decided to read it through once before working through the advice. One major piece of advice is to get specific about what kind of job you’re looking for, and I have heard this from another career coach before and just tried to avoid doing it. Oops! It’s scary to narrow the field but I realize that my job strategy of just throwing applications on job boards for any job I seem to qualify for has never worked before so time to change it up. I’ll try to remember to come back and update this review if I get an offer!

This book! Where do i even start?!! My computer cookies sent me this book over and over for months and i eventually caved and brought it. All i have to say is THANK YOU COOKIES!! THANK YOU ALEXA!!! This book is phenomenal!!!!
If your someone who finds the job search debilitating like myself, or you just want to know more about how the job search works or your somewhere in between, this book is for you! This book is like being hugged through the whole job search! With step by step instructions and templates it takes you from where you are now, which is potentially at the start of your job search or in desperation city (the job search binge diet as alexa calls it) where i was when i found this book, to a hugely supported knowledgable and insightful job searching place and to a job if you stick with it!. A famous review for this book is that it should be handed out at graduations. It should! If this book had been handed out at my graduation or even in the years running up to it would have saved me from YEARS of job searching pain! That being said, I personally think everyone should have this book even if your not a recent grad and your just changing careers this book is incredibly helpful!!!
If my review however still leaves you unconvinced, take a few minutes and check out Alexa Shoen's social media, the woman is successfully killing it on everything, it wont be hard to find her. I can guarantee you that you wont be disappointed. This book is what you need in your life. This book with this woman's incredible insights and support is what everyone needs!

I came across the entrylevelboss via instagram (my friend shared a post) and I got following.. a month later after hearing and seeing so much about this book online I brought it - I was convinced it would be worth it. As soon as I began reading there was not one word of the book which I didn't feel I could relate to. The months and sadly even years of my late teens and early 20s which had gone by putting my life on hold for a job.. I couldn't believe I wasn't the only one. Fast forward Alexa has a great way of offering practical advice in a very organised way. I am adopting all of these recommendations and have 110% faith I will get the job I truly require and apply for.

Thanks so much Alexa for sharing your years of wisdom. Please try this book, you will not be disappointed.
