New Book "College Students: DO THIS! GET HIRED!" Helps College Students Get A Job In ...
(MMD Newswire) May 26, 2009 - For college students, getting a full time job, summer internship or co-op in this economy is very challenging and some would say next to impossible. Many students complain that they are trying everything to get companies interested and still they are having little to no success.
According to author Mark Lyden, there are ways college students can get noticed even in this very difficult job market. After more than 10 years of leading college recruiting teams across the nation, Lyden is an expert in what works and what doesn't for college students trying to find a job. He understands that college students don't want all the information out there, just what works best!
As explained in "College Students: DO THIS! GET HIRED!", students can gain a significant competitive advantage by understanding what college recruiters and hiring managers really look for and why they look for it. This is the key to getting hired in this market. Instead of the same old advice, students need a fresh, realistic look at how to put their best foot forward when trying to get hired. They need practical, easy to remember, effective, and proven methods to navigate through areas such as Resume Writing, Career Fairs, Interviews, Applying Online, How to Negotiate Salary, Working with their Career Center, and more. They need advice that gives them results and has the best chance at getting them hired!
"I'm not going to waste the reader's time," Lyden says. "Unlike other books and websites giving students 101 things to try and dozens of different approaches, from my experiences I give them what has proven to work most often in each area of their job search. Many of the most effective techniques I have developed myself over the years and have seen them get college students hired." Embedded throughout the book are real life stories with actual college students, to help illustrate specific points. In addition, the website www.DoThisGetHired.com was set up to give additional help and advice as well as detailed information about the book and its author.
