The Book on Career Readiness: The Prof's Guide to Graduating College with a Job Offer, Paperback/Lisa Vento Nielsen

Descriere

Description This installment of the College and Career Readiness series is focused on career readiness and graduating with a job offer. I have spent so much time over the last 13 years as an educator focusing on getting my students ready for the real world in addition to teaching them the subject matter at hand that putting these lessons into a book is the best way to share it with everyone who is interested in being ready after graduation to begin their CAREER. I use the world CAREER instead of JOB for a reason. People can focus on getting a job but the best thing you can do is to think in terms of career. The economy and the skill sets are changing so rapidly but there are ways to be more prepared and more "hirable" than your competition and reading this book is the way to do it. I will discuss and provide actionable lessons on the following topics that you can then apply to your life and help you to be ready to graduate with a job offer and then you can read my Entrepreneur-ING series to continue to be the boss of your own career: About the Author Lisa Vento Nielsen is a business executive, educator and entrepreneur.
