16 Milestones for Coming Recommended from Freshman to Newbie
I’ve been saying it for years but now I’m making it official: I’m writing a book. The premise? Sixteen milestones to be completed throughout your college years in order to “come recommended” for an entry-level job upon graduation.
Right now, I’m collecting advice from hiring managers, recruiters and other career experts to incorporate throughout the book. Would you like your expertise included? Please send an e-mail to book@comerecommended.com with the following information:
- Name
- Credentials (i.e., SPHR, etc.)
- Title and organization
- Contact information
- Web site and/or blog
- Short bio of your expertise
Not only would I like this book to entail advice from the experts, but also “real” stories from young professionals. Are you a recent college graduate who’s landed an entry-level job in your field and willing to share your success story? (No more young public relations professionals! I have plenty already.) Please send an e-mail to book@comerecommended.com with the following information:
- Name
- Contact information
- Month and year graduated
- Degree (i.e., B.A.), major and minor
- College/university
- A brief description of your entry-level job, including your title
- Two to four paragraphs about a specific step (or steps) you took in college (be sure to include whether you were a freshman, sophomore, etc. at the time) that you believe helped prepare you for a successful entry-level job search
If you have any questions about this project, please do not hesitate to send those, as well. I can’t wait to work with all of you to finally make this book a reality! Trust me, it’s been a long time coming.
