How to Get and Keep Your First Job is not just about getting a job. It is a guide designed for students and parents. Students (and parents) often face seemingly unbearable pressures to make decisions from the moment they enter high school until they graduate from college or graduate school. As if there’s not enough pressure just going to school and making grades they are led to believe that these decisions will shape the rest of their lives! But how can you make a decision unless you understand your options and the impact of your decisions? What college or graduate school should I attend? Should I take or avoid certain classes? Should I take a summer job? If so, what job should I take? Does it matter?

This book discusses how to decide what to do next from your next class to your first or next job. It helps you put together the pieces to find a path to your ultimate goal. You will understand that there may be many ways down the path and even some detours or road blocks. However, the detours or road blocks are temporary and if you keep your goal in mind you can get back on the path to reach your goal. You will learn about your options, solutions and the possible impact of your decisions before you have to make them. This is not a textbook, but is full of real life experiences and choices made by people faced with making seemingly critical decisions on school and work. Their successes and setbacks are discussed so you can make choices and avoid the traps that come with making decisions. In addition, this book is helpful if you are deciding whether to change your career choice or whether and where to attend graduate school.

This book was written at the request of parents and students to help cope with the pressures of school and work and to show that not all decisions are final or life-changing. The complaint I hear the most is from adults who wish a book like this were available when they had to make their decisions. If you are a student or care about a student, please read my book.

Almost there….
