First Job Savvy is designed to help young people find their first career job by creating a plan for success. Most are experts at landing service and temp jobs but those skills don't work well to get a job that matches their training and interests. The book begins by helping them match skills and passion to various jobs, create a network of people to help them find the right job, craft a winning resume and then figure out where the jobs are. Interviewing skills are highlighted, as well as how to negotiate and evaluate offers. Finally, readers will learn how to hit the ground running and be a standout success in their new job.
The internet has made it seem as if the job market is no more than a dating market where you can win by simply filling out online applications. First Job Savvy will help them avoid that time-wasting trap and leap ahead of others by providing a winning package that employers want.
