Review by Booklist Review

Riding a wave of paradigm-shifting changes, Gounari delivers concrete advice targeting Gen Zers striving to find their place in the business world. Addressing the explosion of social media platforms alongside the COVID 19--driven shift away from "in-office" to a more flexible work life, this book guides readers to prioritize, reflect, and plan to travel the career path of their dreams. Highlighting Gen Z advantages as the first generation of digital-native workers, Gounari encourages readers to tout their adaptability to new technologies and heightened global awareness. Working through regularly spaced self-evaluation sections prompts the identification of work goals such as autonomy, a hybrid workplace, and personal freedom. Personal branding receives critical attention with solid dos (curate content) and don'ts (be inconsistent) to inform actions. The specificity of the advice sets up Gen Zers--or anyone looking for a work-life change--to develop a solid action plan while keeping an eye on the horizon. Recommended for business collections in public and academic libraries. Also valuable for high-school collections, particularly in schools with a strong business program.
