Should we wait until after graduation to do the training?
Absolutely not. While it’s never too late to start, we recommend starting the program as a Freshman and even earlier, if possible. Learning how to search for a job is just like learning any other skill. The more you practice a skill, the better you get. The more you practice your job search skills, the better you get and the larger your network grows.
Additionally, Freshmen need to start thinking about summer internships. The skills required to find a job are the same as the skills required to find an internship.
Do we really need this training if our student has a “high demand” major like engineering or computer science?
Absolutely. While STEM majors are currently in high demand, the best jobs at the best companies are always extremely competitive. Having superior search skills will not only help you to better compete for the jobs that everyone sees, it will help you find jobs that no one sees because they aren’t yet listed.
Something else to consider is that this course doesn’t just teach you how to find an exceptional job, it teaches you how to negotiate an exceptional salary. That’s important for everyone.
Finally, don’t forget that you can expect your student to switch jobs about 15 – 20 times over the course of a career. Knowing how to do the search well is a lifelong skill that will be utilized many times.
Can’t they just learn this material in the career center?
Most career centers are poorly staffed. Nationally, there’s 1 counselor for every 1,889 students. That’s probably why over 50% of students never visit the career center.
Given this constraint, career centers tend to provide quick tips rather than comprehensive, detailed, classroom-style learning we provide.
How long are the materials available?
All the materials are available for a full 12 months after registration.
When does the program begin?
The program begins as soon as you sign up. Simply have your student use the login information you've created. It is a self-paced course.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. We offer a full 30-day money-back guarantee if your student isn’t satisfied with the quality of the materials.
We’re pretty sure your college doesn’t offer a money-back guarantee if your student doesn’t like a class, so this is a pretty good deal.
How long does the course take to complete?
Pacing is up to your student, as learning is always “on-demand”.
We suggest allocating a full sixteen weeks for completion, a week per module.
