Recommendation

Recruitment consultant Peter Leibman shows students and young professionals how to find a personally fulfilling job, even if they have little or no work experience. Leibman’s enthusiasm is contagious and inspiring, but he makes getting a dream job look easy. Those who are unwilling to work at it will be disappointed. getAbstract recommends Leibman’s advice to recent college graduates, young professionals and career changers of all ages who know what they want but not how to get there.

Take-Aways

  • Stop making excuses for not starting your job search.
  • Identify what you feel passionate about and go after your dream job.
  • Don’t apply for advertised jobs; instead, network to pursue unadvertised openings.
