How To Get A Job

In this episode of the podcast I talk to Luis Guzman, an alumni student from the Mastering College to Career Academy. He went from applying to 20+ companies and not hearing back from any to getting recruited like a pro athlete. He landed 4 internships and a full-time job offer from his top company 2 semesters before graduation.  No more wondering if you have the "perfect" resume. I am going to share with you the proven strategies I uncovered while doing campus recruiting for PepsiCo at one of the largest Universities in the country. You're going to learn the #1 reason why 96% of applicants never even hear back, I am also going to show you how to be part of the 1% that gets put on the "list", and finally you're going to discover how to access the hidden job market (where over 80% of jobs are filled). https://www.masteringcollegetocareer.com/resume-training Let’s connect!

In this episode of the podcast I talk about why I think the resume is dying and why you need to put more effort into your LinkedIn profile.  Your LinkedIn profile will get viewed more times than your resume because it’s public and it gives employers all of the relevant information that they are looking for in one place.  So make sure you listen to the whole episode and make your LinkedIn profile a priority.  For those who want to take action, I have created the Mastering LinkedIn Mini Book. This will show you step by step how to create an All Star LinkedIn profile. It will also give you tons of examples of profiles from students who have already executed my suggestions.  https://www.masteringcollegetocareer.com/LinkedIn Let’s connect!

I often get asked what my #1 piece of advice would be for students to get a job. It was hard for me to just think of one, but after thinking a lot about my experience as a student as well as the experiences of the students that I’ve helped I’ve decided on the most important piece of advice. I have finally picked THAT ONE THING that if done will lead to you landing a job with your dream company.  That one thing is becoming the ideal candidate for your dream company.  Research shows that when a company hires the wrong person it costs them 1x - 5x that person’s first-year salary.  So what I have found is that most recruiters are hiring the student that they feel would be the safer bet.  When you do the research and become the ideal candidate then you lower their risk, which will increase your chances of receiving the job offer.  To register or find out more information about the online training on "How to Get a Job/Internship with a Fortune 500"... visit:  https://www.masteringcollegetocareer.com/freetraining Let’s connect!

Not all weeks of your semester are created equal. There is one week in the semester that can change the trajectory for the rest of your college career. That week is the week of the career fair.  If you are a college student that is currently looking for a job or an internship then attending the Career Fair is a MUST.  I have seen students attend the Career Fair and end up receiving multiple internship offers by the end of the week. At the same time, I have also seen students attend the Career Fair without a game plan thinking that they did well, but they ultimately never hear back from the companies they spoke with.  This is why in this episode I am going to give you the strategies that I teach my students to MASTER the Career Fair. The goal is to have you walk away with multiple on-campus interviews lined up which will lead to offers.  To register or find out more information about the online training on "How to Get a Job/Internship with a Fortune 500"... visit:  https://www.masteringcollegetocareer.com/freetraining Let’s connect!
