This May, thousands of graduating college seniors will be enthusiastically entering the working world and getting their first taste of true adult responsibility. Unfortunately, as many parents know, first jobs can be elusive for new grads, especially for those without job-specific degrees. The good news is that, according to David Pollard, there is hope for all grads.

David has been a mentor for young adults entering their first jobs for over 20 years and has seen first-hand how unprepared most college students are for real life. As a guest on your show, he will provide straight talk and a healthy dose of reality as he counsels parents and new grads about what to expect from life after college and how to approach it with direction and purpose.

David will discuss:

• Why it is a mistake for parents to allow their child to move back home, and how to get them out if they are already there.

• Why graduates should consider their diploma a “death certificate.”

• How new grads can create a powerful life plan shaped by exciting goals and their own interests in order to avoid the trap of a dead-end job.

• How to spin the skills gained in an impractical major into interview success.

ATTENTION PRODUCERS: David can also discuss the all-too-common generation wars in the workplace.
