Burn Your Resume - Career planning guidance

Hi, I’m Ethan Dunham. And I’m Paul Frankenberg. We’re excited to talk to you about Burn Your Resume, a book we’ve written for college students to provide direction and advise to help them passionately pursue the career of their choice. And we’ve been working for two and half years on this book, and it’s a distillation of our combined professional experience; Paul’s as an executive search professional, and mine, working with young people. Now, Burn your resume is a how-to manual; sort of a backstage pass to the career of your dreams. It helps you align your passions, skills and interests on that career search to the job you really want, helping you make that leap from college to career. Professionally I’ve spoken with and met with tens of thousands of executives across the country, and the common themes I’ve seen with the most successful is they’re excited, they’re motivated and they’re passionate about what they’re doing. And we want to take that advice and direction and align it with a student’s passion and really help them start their career on a great foundation. We think this book also has wonderful application for the parents of these college students, to help be a conversation starter between parent and college student about what they want to do, what are their interests, and most importantly, how are they going to go about doing it? And for you, the college student, as you’re reading the book, we’ve also created an online community where you can meet with other people facing similar challenges in that job search, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel as you go. We’ll be there, we can work with you, and it’s a great resource for you to use as you search for the job of your dreams. So go to our website and opt in, read our book, Burn Your Resume, and we’ll look forward to talking to you further.
