    About this ebook

    Getting a college degree is just not enough to land you that good job you want. This guide shows the younger generation what it takes to get their foot in the door and how to impress the interviewer. Just because you have a brand new college degree does not mean that you know how to do anything tangible and of value to the interviewer. It does show that you can learn and take tests, but your actual work history can speak volumes more about what you can do for the potential employer.

    This eBook can help you learn how to showcase your talents and abilities. It also explains what it takes to land a good job. Most importantly, it explains why who you know is often more important than what you know. Read it now, and learn how to increase your opportunities to get a call-back or the treasured job offer.
