As I’ve blogged about previously, internships are more important for young professionals than ever.

Stop Bashing Gen Y Workers! by Lindsey Pollak - Jan, 2009 I try to read everything in the news about Generation Y and careers. This means I regularly find myself plodding through frustrating stories about how the Millennials are “entitled,” “coddled” and “disloyal.” Friday’s article on MSNBC.com is yet another maddening example. When did the Baby Boomers mantra “Don’t trust anyone over 30” turn into “Don’t trust anyone under 30”? Why, during the worst economy in over 60 years, ... |

I have a lot of stress from a job I don't enjoy and battle constant insecurity issues. So how did you do it? How'd you become so successful and happy with your life? Because honestly, I'm finding it a bit hard." - Lost in My Twenties Dear Lost in My Twenties, I'd be surprised if you said your twenties were easy for you as this decade ... |

How to Decide Whether or Not to Attend Graduate School by Lindsey Pollak - Jan, 2009 To go to grad school or not to go to grad school, that is the question for many graduating college students - especially during a recession. I wish I could give you the absolute right answer, but I can't. The decision is personal and different for everyone. What I can do is provide you with the right questions to ask to make the right move for you. First, here are what I consider to be the no-brainer decisions: No-... |

It’s A Sales Letter, Not A Cover Letter by Bob Roth - Jan, 2009 When college students are instructed to create a cover letter, they are receiving bad advice. Letters that merely cover or accompany a resume are nearly worthless. The letter that all students should develop is a sales letter, a letter that will convince an employer that they are something special. Sales letters present information that is not already covered in the resume. It clearly demonstrates the student’s vocabulary, ... |

Students Can Perform Their Way To A Great Job by Bob Roth - Jan, 2009 Employers look for and seek out college students who can get things done. They believe that what you’ve done in the past is the best predictor of what you will do in the future. Therefore, while in college, wise students build a list of significant accomplishments and positive contributions. These students understand that they can’t talk their way into a great job, but they can perform their way to one. Since employers do... |

College Seniors Must Act Now by Bob Roth - Dec, 2008 If college seniors want to put themselves in the running for the best jobs, they must understand that the job hunting process is a hard fought and serious competition between fellow students. Whenever students interview on campus, they will likely compete against 10, 20, 50 or more other candidates. Those are tough odds, especially when those same interviewers will be visiting five or more other colleges and have only a few... |

How to Get a Job When You Have a Low GPA by Lindsey Pollak - Dec, 2008 Q: Everything is so much more competitive these days. Will I ever get a good job when I graduated with a 2.0 GPA? A: Some elite employers have policies requiring a certain GPA (usually a 3.0 or higher), and there is generally no way around that rule. To get a job with one of the gazillions of other employers in the world, a low GPA is a completely surmountable challenge. In some cases you can squeak through by demonstrat... |

Your Resume Doesn’t Get You A Job by Bob Roth - Dec, 2008 Most college students wait until their final year before they start thinking seriously about their job search. At that point, they begin to worry about their resume and the interviews they will take. These students know that many employers review resumes first, to determine which students they will interview. With this in mind, students often spend hours trying to craft a resume that will impress prospective employers. They... |

How to Help Your Child Transition Successfully from College to Career by Ford R. Myers - Nov, 2008 Over the past year, we’ve received a number of phone calls from parents of recent college graduates. This is unusual for two reasons: (1) we don’t usually work with clients in their twenties; and (2) these parents are seriously concerned about their children’s ability to start careers. Indeed, many parents are now paying our career coaching fees, to ensure that their kids will have every advantage in the transition from school... |
