THIS BOOK WILL HAVE YOUR BACK IN THE FIRST 5 YEARS OF YOUR CAREER.
You could keep pretending that you've got the whole career and adulting thing sorted. Or you could admit you need some help. Now. Not in 5 years time when you wake up and think "What am I doing? This job sucks. My boss sucks. I don't want this life. Why did I waste all those years?"
Do any of these sound like you?
-
You feel like your career has been decided by your parents, your school or your grades.
-
You feel overwhelmed by the pressure to decide on a career path and are freaking out about making the wrong decision.
-
You’re applying to university because everyone expects you to go but you don’t know if it is actually for you.
-
You’re excited for your friend who is kicking career goals but also jealous because you don’t have your sh*t together.
-
You are concerned about how a gap year will impact your career and whether it will put you behind everyone else.
By telling-it-like-it-is, this book will show you how to approach your career when you have no f*cking idea what you’re doing with your life. It will give you the info school missed because they were teaching you stuff you’ll never use (like Pythagoras’ Theorem).
In the first 5 years after school you can:
-
Say yes to that job just because it seems like it will be fun.
-
Book that one way ticket to see the world.
-
Quit a job because you’re not digging the vibe.
-
Do something that doesn’t make sense to anyone but you.
-
Change your mind 50 times.
-
Try 10 jobs and decide none of them are for you.
If you're curious about what else might be out there, this book is for you.
Purchase it for $9.99 USD.
You know the box that school probably put you in based on your grades and ‘potential’?
Yeah, you can smash that box to pieces.
This is your career.
YOU GET TO BUILD YOUR OWN DAMN BOX.
