Welcome! I hope this class helps you better define what you're looking for in a future job and gives you the tools necessary to go out and get your dream job. I've loved my journey, and I've gained significant insights that I believe are indispensable in the job-hunting and career development process.
We are taught many useful things in school, but seldom taught HOW to get a job! How do you know the job is right for you? How do you navigate the job market?
You're going to spend a lot of time at your job. Make sure it is the right one for you.
These principles are seldom discussed in school. I learned through trial and error, and I hope to build a bridge for you so you can make meaningful progress in your career.
I have a lot of respect for Steve Jobs. These are a few of my favorite quotes that have shaped the way I think about a career.

Like most opportunity - more education may cost you something. But it may also repay you!
There are many benefits to more education that are not often discussed. Learn what they are and why they may be very important to your future.
YOU are responsible for your education. You paid a university to educate you on some principles, but you are ultimately responsible for educating yourself on the things you care most about. Make it unique!
Learn to connect through personalized notes and genuine conversations, exploring careers and openings, building common interests and setting up in-person or phone appointments on LinkedIn to discuss opportunities.
Learn how to talk to people more comfortably.

The world is full of opportunity for everyone.
Learn how to overcome the Goliaths in your life.
The real problem you're trying to solve: How to create a meaningful life.
You are unique. You have unique talents and abilities. You see problems from a unique perspective, and you need a job that is as unique as you are.
Maybe you know what that job is... and maybe you don't. Either way you've come to the right place.
Through this course you will learn how to:
Choose a job that matches your interests
Comfortably network your way into the company you want to work for
Write a compelling resume to get you in the front door
Get past the resume and show them your unique attributes
Guide the interview to play to your strengths
Your education taught you a lot of skills, but it probably did not teach you how to get a job. Getting a job takes some know-how. It's not hard. It's just that we aren't properly taught how to take that next step after we graduate from school. Those who apply the principles discussed here have a world of opportunity open to them.
I am an engineer, and most of the examples I use are geared towards engineering. However, these principles apply to all fields, and the perspective you'll gain from this course can significantly shape your future.
