JUMP IN AND START SWIMMING IBD

Sinopsi

JUMP IN AND START SWIMMING was written as a result of a request from anáAdjunct Professor at the University of Rhode Island to speak to his junior and senior students, who were beginning to find it difficult to secure jobs/careers after graduation. THE 2008 Stock Market Crash. accelerated an economicácollapse , followed byáthe job market.á I agreed to write a &ldquo,talk&rdquo, to be submitted to the Dean of Business, however, I found myself writing way beyond the plans.á When I finally called the professor to schedule a date to come in to the campus and give my &ldquo,talk&rdquo,, I was informed of, áhow much áworse the situationáhad become for the students since we first spoke.á I also learned that a number of the students&rsquo, parents had unfortunately beenálaid off and were about to face the difficulty of paying student loans, especially unnerving, áconsidering that theirákidsáweren&rsquo,t findingájobs.á It was becoming a serious mess, with noáend in sight.á In fact all three of my grown children had lost their jobsáin what was beginning to look like the 2nd Great Depression.ááá At the timeáI was initially invited to come in, I had already begun writing a memoir describing my unique careeráalong with some family history for my grandchildren. My parents landed on Ellis Island in a fiercely cold winter during the Great Depression with just the clothes on their back.á I knew their story of course, and I was aware of how they survived.á With, &ldquo,No money!&rdquo,, &ldquo,No place to Live!&rdquo,, &ldquo,No Jobs!á&ldquo,No Nothing!&rdquo,á So I thought that by sharing their story along with my career information, I might inspire the students to &ldquo,press on&rdquo, with real life struggles, and overcoming obstacles during what wasáscarier time in American History, while introducing them to newácareeráopportunities.. The combination of the two caused my talkáto evolveáinto my firstábook, áI just needed a title.á I decided on a saying that my mother often quoted, &ldquo,Jump In and Start Swimming&rdquo,.á It was her way of telling us toáá&ldquo,take a leap of faith&rdquo,, when she saw us stuck andáunable to make a decision.á As you will learn, upon reading my stories her sayingáhad a profoundáeffect on my life. Once my readers finished the book, I received all types of questions and requests for more elaboration on what I did exactly to be successful.áá áAs a result, I wrote: á RELATIONSHIPS OPEN DOORS,áwhich describes the number one technique that I learned and employed for over 30 years.áThe art of relationship building and networking is aá A SKILLáTHAT EVERYáCOLLEGEáSTUDENTS NEEDáTO MASTER TO GET A CAREER ! Finally, I published job guide for them, including my thoughts and advice for finding a job/career. á JOB AND ASSISTANCE FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS AND RECENT GRADUATES available only as an eBook on Kindle $1.99 á &lsquo, á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á
