Synopsis

Ready to claim or create your ideal job? Ready to stop dreaming and start digging?

When Laura Dodd started talking with her twentysomething peers about working, it didn't take long for her to see that people are passionate about the jobs they do and the jobs they'd like to do. What started as a few questions mushroomed into a viral discussion that is energizing and inspiring young professionals around the globe. Hundreds of interviews later, Dodd transforms the career horizon with Dig This Gig, a modern-day Working for millennials.

Meet an array of dynamic young people--from genetics counselors to adventure guides to food bloggers-- and get their firsthand views of entirely new fields taking off because of technological, demographic, and cultural shifts.

And meet industry icons as never seen before--from Dan Rather to Christina Norman, CEO of The Oprah Winfrey Network, to Jeffrey Sachs, to congressman and civil rights hero John Lewis--as Dodd uncovers their candid perspectives, regrets and hopes, and indispensible advice.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation, are storming the workplace, but finding themselves paralysed. Instead of choosing a career and starting the climb up the proverbial ladder, they spend their 20s jumping from job to job, moving back home, travelling abroad and going back to university. These decisions don't stem from not wanting a career but rather from simply not knowing what it entails. Dig This Gig demystifies dozens of job titles from a range of industries, while offering unique advice on how the reader can forge their own distinctive paths.
