About this ebook
I have been coaching a recent college graduate on how to find a job. It is amazing and frustrating to see how unprepared most college graduates are when it comes to finding a job after graduation. But, looking back, so was I.
With the constant change in the way we exchange information and conduct business today it is hard to keep up with all the new tricks to finding jobs. From massive job sites such as Monster and other electronic job bulletin boards, to social media, the landscape of finding a job is continually evolving. Even with this, the simple basic rules still apply and must be followed.
Let's discuss some of the basics to conducting a job search and landing that perfect job. Some of the information covered will be:
- How to conduct a job search.
- How to write a resume.
- How to write a cover letter.
- How to handle the interview.
- How to follow-up
Larry B. Gray
I grew up in Eastern North Carolina in the small rural town of Aurora. My early years were spent working on my grandparents' tobacco farm and exploring my world of family, friends and school. After marrying my high school sweetheart in 1972, I moved to Lakeland, Florida where I spent my adult years raising a beautiful family and working in the citrus industry with over 39 years of manufacturing management experience, selling real estate and being a writer wannabe, all at the same time. In my spare time I attended and graduated from Florida Southern College while working full time and starting a family. I am still married to my high school sweetheart and have 3 beautiful children and two wonderful grandchildren. Life is not always easy but in the scheme of things it is fun and gets better everyday. Come join me on this great adventure, remembering the past and building the future.
