Graduation ’08 is fast approaching. And that means today’s highly-competitive job market will be flooded with eager new grads who only think they’re well-prepared. In reality, their success will take much more than:

• Topflight grades and graduation honors from prestigious schools.

• Impressive internships, fellowships or other academic and professional awards.

• An attention-getting resume and well-crafted portfolio.

• That new dress-for-success wardrobe.


Explore hidden truths about the job market most colleges don’t teach, when you interview acclaimed career advisors Peter Vogt and Terese Corey Blanck. These experts will impart information designed to benefit our younger generation and infuse the workforce with qualified young professionals.

Vogt and Blanck will discuss:

• A parent’s role in helping new graduates become new employees. Learn about the parent/child coaching relationship that benefits everyone. Is helicopter parenting real?

• What most employers seek from entry level candidates. Why do many recent grads take themselves out of job contention during the first 10 minutes of an interview?

• Networking dos, don’ts, and myths. Are former teachers and other mentors the best source for references? What do today’s well-meaning campus career centers fail to deliver?

• And much more about crucial early career development for young 21st century leaders.
