From the Author

As an undergraduate and a graduate student in college, I was frustrated by not being able to find a comprehensive tool to help me prepare all of the items I needed to find a job. It seemed as though numerous sources existed, yet nothing was available for a college student who balanced a job, classes, extra-curricular activities and most of all... a life.

I needed quick explanations, easy-to-understand examples, templates that I could integrate and most of all, it needed to be applicable to me, a college student, not someone with 10 years of experience.

That's why I created The College Student's Step-By-Step-Guide To Landing A Job. I've integrated my perspective as a college student who faced the same challenges as you along with my professional experience as a manager who interviewed entry-level and experienced candidates. I think you'll find the book provides the insight and the immediately-applicable tools you need to help you land the job of your dreams...or even one to pay the bills for awhile until you find your true calling.

I heard about this book from a friend and decided to pick it up. With all of the reading I do at school, I don't read much on the side.

But this book was well worth it. It was very informative and laid out really easy. I was able to use the examples and put together a resume and cover letter, even though I never had done it before.

I took them to my college's career services center and received a few calls already. Now that I've started on a successful job hunt, I'm going to keep this book in my collection for future jobs.
