From the founder of the influential website Career Contessa, an invaluable career resource for women feeling stuck or unfulfilled that combines actionable advice, learning tools to make impactful life changes, and an in-depth discussion of how to build a meaningful career on your terms.
With her popular website Career Contessa, Lauren McGoodwin built an audience of ambitious, professional, millennial women who thought they did everything right—they got the degree, the internship, and even the promotion—but still wondered why they felt stuck and unfulfilled. The first site of its kind to focus on the unique, complex aspects of women's careers, Career Contessa offers women the smart advice they deserve, in a voice that resonates.

Drawing on the insights and lessons developed from Career Contessa, Power Moves is the essential handbook that helps professional women truly feel understood so they can bypass perfection and planning and head straight to evolving. McGoodwin addresses young professionals' number-one concern: career transitions and growth, and engages them with specific goals, including:

  • What is a Power Move and why they matter
  • Cutting out comparison, shame, and self-loathing
  • How to abandon the elusive "dream job"
  • Embracing your inner questioner, your inner quester, and your inner-quitter
  • Making money moves and taking control of your financial future
  • Tuning out from the noise and tuning into your voice
  • Power Moves is filled with the information, guidance, advice, and essential tools, that can help women take decisive, bold steps without self-doubt and fear, Power Moves shows women how to build a successful career on their own terms.

    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

        Career counseling books aimed at women invariably incorporate how to surmount the mental and health challenges of a job, and this first book from Career Contessa website founder and The Femails podcast host McGoodwin is no exception. While her advice sometimes feels geared to millennials, there's much for all ages to learn and relearn from her power moves. There's some routine talk here on relationships, the art of saying no, abandonment of the elusive dream job, and other topics. Readers will get the most out of more emotional, less intuitive sections on how to really network well, identifying non-controllables (like misogyny in the workplace), and finding your personal circle of champions. There are some familiar-feeling charts to fill up (i.e., good information to gather about target companies) and new words/behaviors to recognize, like concrete ceiling and bropropriating. Plus, McGoodwin shares several other womens' insights on their former and current jobs and what makes them fulfilled. Both re-hashed and new material will leave readers with something to remember. Appended with a "14-day career detox power move."Women in Focus: The 19th in 2020(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
