Defining the Brand of You

Tracking Pixel

Some days it’s difficult to believe that this month marks ten years since I graduated from college because it feels like just yesterday I was walking on campus for freshmen orientation! If you’ve been following my blog for a while then you know that I am a firm believer in pursuing big dreams but I’ll say this…it would have been really nice to have some help pursuing those dreams back when I graduated college. Instead I struck out on my own to find a job…and it did not go quite as I had envisioned! So when Fifth Third Bank contacted me to help spread the word about their Brand Of You campaign I couldn’t say yes fast enough! And while this is a sponsored post, all opinions are entirely my own and I couldn’t be more passionate about helping young adults find guidance as they leave college to pursue their big dreams.

A few quick facts for you about the realities of graduating college…

-More than half of recent college graduates do not have full time jobs

-50% of jobs aren’t even posted online making job openings difficult to find*

-An average of 200 people apply for each job opening**

Searching for the Right Job

So what is the solution to being a recent college graduate who wants to pursue their dreams but is facing a difficult job market?

Job search coaching.
