Donald Asher, America's career guru, believes that success comes from an
alignment of passion and preparation. First tip: Your college major has
very little to do with your job options. In fact, you can get to
virtually any life-goal destination from virtually any starting point.
Stephen Colbert was a philosophy major. Chad Hurley, billionaire founder
of YouTube, was an art major. And while we're at it, Albert Einstein was
a high-school drop-out. Still think your college major will determine
your life path? Think again.
HOW TO GET ANY JOB is the first book that definitively answers the
following questions, and many more:
- What is "life launch" and how is it different from getting a job?
- Why do employers hire people like you?
- Which skills do employers value most? (They're not what you think!)
- How do non-tech people get hired and thrive in tech companies?
- How do you set yourself up to get promoted?
- How do you prove you have skills that don't show up on your
transcripts?
- How do you get experience if you can't get a job, or have the "wrong"
major?
- How can you get famous and influential people to help you?
- How do you hit restart if you get stuck in a dead-end job out of
college?
- What should you do if you're a graduate and living in your parents'
basement?
- What should you do if you're a junior to make sure you don't end up
in that basement?
Whether you're twenty and still in college or twenty-nine and still
wondering how to start your life, HOW TO GET ANY JOB offers the most
creative and innovative thinking on life launch to date. It is used by
college career centers nationwide.
