Description



About the Book



"Most college grads enter corporate America because it's what they've been taught is the "successful path" their entire lives, only to find themselves 15 years deep into a career that is wholly unsatisfying and absolutely lost on how to find purpose in their careers. But not you. If you're ready to break the corporate blueprint and build your own ladder, you've come to the right place. You can find happiness and purpose in your career, whether it's working a corporate job or forging your own path. Navigating your career is challenging in all phases of life, but with the right tools, you can empower yourself to make the necessary changes in your career to finally find happiness in your working life. In Own Your Career, Alloca walks you through her experience leaving a corporate job in finance to develop her side hustle into a full-blown business. From feeling completely lost and unhappy in a job that she spent years of her life preparing for to utilizing the skills she learned to build a multiple 6-figure business, Alloca shares every lesson she learned along the way that helped pave her path to her own definition of success. Own Your Career teaches you how to communicate your skillset and sell yourself through resume and interview techniques, decipher job offers, negotiate your salary, succeed in the workplace, and navigate career pivots, and increase your income through starting a side hustle or a business that you can take to the next level"--
