From The CarolRoth.com Entrepreneurship Interview Series
There is a very interesting dynamic in deciding between a career path and business ownership, which I discuss in detail with Alexandra Levit, Wall Street Journal and Metro US career/workplace columnist. Alexandra is also the author of several books, including the bestselling They Don’t Teach Corporate in College, MillennialTweet and her newest book, New Job, New You: A Guide to Reinventing Yourself in a Bright New Career.
Alexandra is also a member of the Business Roundtable’s Springboard Project, which is advising the Obama administration on current workplace issues. Together, we talk about a variety of topics including:
-What expectations you may not want to have about your job;
-Why starting a business may not be an answer to your career woes;
-Why you might want to consider a career change;
-How you can go about finding the best new career for you;
-What’s the biggest mistake job seekers make when applying for a new job;
-How you can make the transition from business owner back to employee;
-And more
