So You Want to Find a Job Kristie Byrum

So You Want to Find a Job: Career Search Steps is designed to help readers navigate the job search process and transition from the university setting to the working world. The anthology provides critical readings and foundational resources for emerging professionals in the process of discovering new jobs, articulating skills to potential employers, and engaging in the process of joining the workforce.

The readings in the first half of this book have been carefully selected to help young professionals thrive in the job search by examining appropriate steps for beginning the process and then help them broaden skills for success in the search. The second half of the book focuses on joining the work culture and on career growth. Each of the four units features editor introductions and post-reading questions to contextualize the readings and provide opportunities for self-reflection and critical thinking.

Written to inspire confidence and a greater level of self-awareness, So You Want to Find a Job is an ideal resource for courses that support students nearing graduation. It could also be used in student success programs and courses.
