Lately, I have had several calls from college age and college bound people looking for advice on the job market.
I’m enjoying all this youth. The energy is incredible. There is so much organic thinking and it has been beneficial to me as well. There is much to learn from this group. They are smart. Not all working – but smart.
The challenges they face are difficult. They clearly want to be working. We have long and passionate conversations about where and how they are going to land.
I wish I had jobs in my back pocket for everyone, but I don’t. What I do have is advice and a level of tolerance that helps ease them (and me) through the process.
I refer to it as, not a ‘pep tall’ but a ‘prep talk’.
So much of it is ATTITUDE and mindset.
Be prepared. Be patient and above all – be pro active. It takes time, but if you rely on your skills and true self value – it happens.
Have a great weekend.
