Curricular Off-Roading
Forget about the importance of high marks, or the name of your university. Getting a job after graduation is a lottery, with more people than every hoping it is their ticket that’s a winner. But as you will learn in this book, you have a much higher responsibility to go straight from college to a job. If that sounds scary, remember that you have more opportunities to excel in anything than at any other time in history, and get ahead of your fellow students.
IN THIS STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO CREATING A JOB-GIVING RESUME WHILE YOU STUDY, YOU WILL LEARN THE TOOLS AND THE RULES ON:
- How you get the experience, network and competences that employers and business are demanding, but aren’t are part of the curriculum.
- How you use your already written assignments to get in contact with people, who would be interested in hiring you
- How you can get practical experience, that gives concrete results you can transfer directly to your resume
- How you can become an expert within a field, to land the job you want
- How to separate you from the academic herd
Excerpt from the first chapter
"You are about to read a book that I wish somebody had written when I was studying at college. In fact, I wish I had a book like this just before starting college.
This is a book that will provide you with insights into what awaits you on the other side of college, from the eyes of a graduate. Not from the eyes of a professor who works at a university, or from someone who got their job straight after they graduated in a time before social media and the financial crisis."
Christian Jespersen holds a master’s degree in intercultural marketing and business communication, and has studied at Copenhagen Business School, Bilkent Univeristy in Turkey and Rotterdam School of Management in Netherlands. This book was written as guide to students like himself, who has a generalist education, and had very little knowledge of what to do with the degree after graduation, or what the graduation could do for him.
Based on the success stories from other’s who didn’t get the highest marks at college, but got the jobs best suited for them after college, this book will give the map for curricular off-roading, so you can land in the job you want.
