Contrary to what students, and society, are conditioned to think,
obtaining a college degree does not automatically result in a job,
let alone a dream career. In the last year, alone, half of college
graduates are either jobless or underemployed in positions that
don't fully use their skills and knowledge. Authors Tori Randolph
Terhune, a gainfully-employed young college graduate herself, and
Betsy A. Hays, a college professor, show readers what they can do
in college to successfully pave the way for future employment in
Land Your Dream Career. The authors provide eleven easy-to-follow
strategies for effectively using time on campus to start building a
career. Terhune and Hays leads students through content designed to
help students set themselves up for success, without focusing on
grades or papers. The 11 steps include tips about how students can
become experts in their fields, build their brand, get involved in
and outside the classroom, allow for wiggle room, network, follow
the 75/25 rule (75% thinking, 25% doing) and use new media, such as
social networking and blogging, to launch their career. Any student
looking for that connection from college to getting to their dream
career needs to read Land Your Dream Career. Terhune and Hays make
it known that landing a good job is not impossible!
Whether employed or not upon completing their college degree, most
people experience a significant "culture shock" while transitioning
from student to professional life. In Life After College: Ten Steps
to Build a Life You Love, authors Tori Randolph Terhune and Betsy
A. Hays show recent, and not so recent, college graduates what they
can do to successfully transition into this new stage of their
lives. Terhune, a recent college graduate, and Hays, a college
professor, provide honest, humorous, and helpful suggestions to
help readers thrive. Focusing on more than just success in the
workplace, the authors offer ten easy-to-follow strategies and
practical advice for all points of life-from time management at
home and at work to making friends in a new city to budgeting. The
book also covers key generational differences, the magic of
mentoring, and the millennial validation vacuum. Life After College
will help any recent grad build a fulfilling life-in and out of the
office. There is so much more to being happy and healthy
post-college than getting a job, and anyone looking to successfully
adjust to life beyond college needs to read Life After College.
