When
I started working on this portal, I really didn't know where it was
going to lead or exactly what information would be included within it.
My goal was to provide a reliable source of information to people like
you, who are about to graduate and graduated from college and are
starting looking for a job or launch a career. The obvious thing to do
when you're in this situation is to start sending out resumes, just like
everyone else, and hope for the best. Being armed with the right information,
however before starting this process will mean the difference between getting
yourself just any odd job that may lead nowhere and finding your ultimate dream
job that will allow you to pursue a productive, successful, and extremely
enjoyable career.

I know from firsthand experience that the job search can be a
very confusing, frustrating, and intimidating time in someone's life. After all
you're going from the structured and sheltered environment of education, and
probably for the first time in your life, you're being forced to make decisions
that will impact the rest of your life. Now that's pretty intimidating,
especially if you have absolutely no clue about what type of career you want to
pursue. Despite what you've been told by educators, your parents, your friends,
and others, if you're thinking that you have to "find yourself" before
choosing a career, that's pretty normal. Very few people graduate from
institutes with a passion and a career path already laid out. With little or no experience
in the business world how are you supposed to make the right career decisions
that will impact the rest of your professional life? The answer: Proceed with
caution and don't make hasty decisions - make educated decisions. Even if your
parents are "well connected" and are friendly with many successful
business people, chances are you won't have the opportunity to sit down with too
many of them in- person and get some serious career advice. From this site you
will get answers to some of your job related questions, and at the same time,
you'll receive extremely practical and useful advise from people in the know .
Unfortunately, there are neither no easy answers nor an exact
series of steps that you can follow in order to get yourself a job and launch
your career. What you can find in this site is information on what you expect at
each step in the job search process.
Let's face it, not everyone is cut out to be a President,
CEO, a founder of a multi million-dollar company. Even if you don’t have
aspirations to be a top level executive, you're probably going to find that the
information in this site will help to inform and inspire you towards success, in
whatever it is that you choose to pursue. When you begin your job search, your
goal is to get yourself a job and to begin your career (duh). Don't settle just
for just any job offer that comes along, and don't let anyone force you into
accepting a job that you don't think you'll be happy and productive in. This may
mean going against the advise of people you love and respect, but in the end,
it's your life, and you have to make decisions that will allow you to lead your
own life, make your own mistakes, and achieve your own success.
Just because you have a college degree, even if it's from a
top-notch Ivy League Institute, nobody awes you anything. If you're not willing
to put forth the effort to get yourself a great job and then succeed in that
position, then it's nobodies fault but your own if you wind up in a boring,
dead-end job. Sorry, but that's how the real world operates, and if you go into
the real world understanding this, you've got a much better chance for success.
What ever you do, never give up and don't settle. To get yourself a great job,
you've got to be informed, persistent, dedicated, and have a passion for
whatever it is that you want to do. Sure, an education is critical, and previous
work experience (internships, summer jobs, part-time jobs, etc.) will be
helpful, but there are many very well educated people who wind up in dead-end
jobs. This site serves you with the knowledge you'll need to help you avoid
failing into a career path that leads to misery.
Now
all you have to do is read it and follow at least some of the advice that's
offered. If you happen to find one of the interviews, or a specific piece of
advice, to be exceptionally useful as you begin your job search, please drop me
a note via e-mail, and let me know what information was particularly helpful.

Goodluck and may all your
Dreams and Goals come true!
