The 5 Secrets to Landing a Great Job After College and What Parents Can Do to Help - DALLAS, TX
Help Your College Student Beat the Odds and Launch a Successful Career
More than 50% of college graduates today take jobs that don't require a college degree—and most remain underemployed even a decade later. Meanwhile, graduates who land college-level jobs earn 50% more than their peers. The first job after graduation matters more than ever, yet most families focus entirely on getting into a good college without thinking about how to get out successfully.
Whether your child attends UT, Texas A&M, SMU, TCU, or another school, this workshop reveals the five most important factors that actually determine career outcomes after graduation—and what you as a parent can do to help.
What You'll Learn:
Why choice of major and internships matter more than the college they attended for career outcomes and earnings
How completing just one internship cuts underemployment risk nearly in half (yet fewer than 1/3 of students do one)
How to guide your child in building a strong candidate profile: resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn
Practical networking strategies that start in your own family network and expand from there
The critical interviewing and communication skills most young people lack—and how to develop them
You'll leave with a clear action plan and practical steps you can start using right away, whether your child is in high school, college, or recently graduated.
