Young and Profiting with Hala Taha
Business:Entrepreneurship
When Ashley Stahl graduated college during the 2008 recession, she couldn’t get a job and was sleeping on her parent’s couch. She eventually landed a job at the Pentagon by contacting her college, requesting a list of alumni that were living in Washington D.C., and cold-calling every person on the list, asking for help in finding work in counter-terrorism. This was the first of many scrappy methods Ashley came up with to snag her dream job. Now, Ashley is a bestselling author and top career coach who maintains a monthly career column in Forbes. In this episode, you’ll learn about Ashley’s journey from working in counter-terrorism to becoming a career coach, the importance of discovering your core skillset, and the misconceptions around following your passions and creating five-year plans.
