This is no fluffy manifesto about finding your passion. #ENTRYLEVELBOSS is a pragmatic, refreshing, and very detailed guide for how to get yourself hired.

Banging your head against the wall about the job search? Wondering why you never hear back even though you’re sending out applications like crazy? Not sure what to do next? You’re not alone.

Scoring a great job these days takes more than a cover letter and a well-pressed suit. But along with the challenges of this economy come some unprecedented opportunities–and the internet’s favorite career coach, Alexa Shoen, is here to help you figure it all out.

#ENTRYLEVELBOSS is an easy-to-follow roadmap for finding and landing the job you really want. Think of it like a fitness plan. Except, instead of killer abs, you wind up with multiple interviews and offers. Cool, right?

This is not another manifesto about finding your passion. This is a real plan that’s based on the real rules of the game. You’ll learn how to identify your future manager, for example, and slide into their DMs in the least creepy way possible.

Armed with a solid dose of humor from someone who’s been there, Alexa has guided thousands of people into fulfilling employment using these exact steps. Even if you’re convinced you’re the least hire-able person on the planet, #ENTRYLEVELBOSS has got you covered.


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.
