Little Mistake That Cost the Entry-Level Job Hunter $120,000

The Job Hunt Status Quo

JP got into an average school and was completing an average internship.

He was "on track" with his peers. 

That's great when your peers are headed somehwere great, but on average the results are....well... average. 

The "average" for an international student is to get a diploma and return without work experience. 

JP still had the potential to earn $120,000 as an international student upon graduation, salary and benefits included.

But he didn’t know that, and who he looked to-  his peers-  didn't know that about themselves, either. 

At the moment, he was traveling the path of the status quo. 

As far as he or his peers knew, going to school, working on grades, applying online, this should be ALL he needed to do to get a job. 

 It was like we were back in 1900, thinking that smoking was fine. 

Shifting From The Status Quo

Today we realize that this was wrong, and the consensus view shifted: SMOKING CAUSES CANCER!

The status quo was recognied as the "cancer causing view"

One of my biggest epiphanies was to see that “smoking causes cancer” in the job hunt. 

I was in in school, just looking for a job, and I thought that all I had to do was go to school and I would get a job. This was the "smoking is fine" consensus view.  

And, being human, I had no foresight. 

The year prior, I had been on that new admit “high”  fully confident that investing over $200,000 would be all I needed to get a great job. 

Only by failing in an internship did I see my error

Failing to get that return offer after my internship, I returned to school to find what I was missing was available outside of the curriculum, and I could buy it in the form of a training for just $200, not $200,000. 

I did, and it was exactly what I needed. Today, my life is totally different for that $200. 

What To Do Next

JP is in position to make $120,000 in his first year out of school. He doesn’t know that.

He’s at risk of staying in the status quo. Either a failure or a moment of enlightment will bring the shift, or it will not. 

Were he to get foucused, develop a personal brand fitting for his dreams, revamp his resume and network, he could avoid a $120,000 mistake. 

He could gain that $120,000 job. It would take investing in additional trainings and programs.

You can can avoid this costly mistake now - and for LESS than that $200 by investing in The #StuartResumeTM.
