For Immediate Release
June 2, 1997
You are excited and proud. Your child has just graduated from college. What a relief! However, for many college grads and their parents the frustration is about to begin. With degree in hand, what's next? What career path to follow for the most rewarding future? How about the family business or pulling some strings to help career doors open for junior? If that doesn¼t work, a little pressure and pushing to direct that kid into the "right" kind of job might do the trick!
"Unfortunately, says Susan Silvano, President of Career Management InternationalÆ (CMI), our educational system has failed to address the interests, strengths and abilities of our students during the years they spent being educated. The majority of grads do not have a clue about "what they want to be when they grow up" or what career path would be both fun and profitable for them. All the nagging, coaxing and shoving of a well intentioned parent is not going to help."
Even college graduates who have pursued a specific area of interest all the way through their college years find that, when interviewing, the "jobs" they prepared for are not the "jobs" that are being offered in the marketplace. This is the time for these well educated, but often frustrated young people, to begin learning how to break out of the mold and design their own positions in this changing world of work. CMI's Job BoxÆ provides concise career discovery tools in an easy to use "how to" format which allows people new to the job market to learn their marketable strengths, how to design their resume and utilize proven interviewing and negotiation skills. The Job BoxÆ empowers the college grad so that he or she can take responsibility and be successful in a productive career search. Parents can now breathe a sigh of relief...off the payroll at last!
