"You will not magically figure out life in one day and then go out into the real world to execute your entire vision in one fell swoop. You will figure out your life by trial and error, just like the rest of us." - Alexa Shoen, #ENTRYLEVELBOSS

#ENTRYLEVELBOSS is step-by-step guide for job seekers that includes all the tips needed to get hired in this age with today's tools. Each steps are explained in straight-forward and relatable manner, backed with examples and templates for resume, cover letters and networking emails. There's even an actionable and manageable task list at the end of every steps. They're not abstract stuff that I would ended up just forgetting later.

It also explained about several incorrect beliefs about how employment works and what hit me the most was how the concept of 'official experience' is false, as it is a concept that I actually have been guiltily believing all this while. Because it's doesn't matter how you got your skills, what matters is that you took your own time to develop it.

It was a really useful read for me and I still re-read it from time to time in my process of job seeking. Definitely recommended for anyone who needs help in looking for a job.

So, so helpful for anyone looking for a job and not the same boring advice you see everywhere! The book has lots of templates for resumes, cover letters, emails and LinkedIn approaches - it’s very practical instead of just telling you to “follow your dreams”
