Job search training

A college education is essential in today’s job market, but just because you have a degree—even if it’s from a brand name university—doesn’t mean that you’re prepared for the job search. Last year 80% of college seniors graduated without having a job lined up and 85% of college students moved back home with their parents after graduation. Those outcomes are ok if they’re part of your plan, but it’s hard to act on a plan if you’re unprepared for the job search.

That’s why Jason Seiden (author of How to Self-Destruct and Super Staying Power) and Willy Franzen (founder of One Day, One Job and One Day, One Internship) partnered to develop Found Your Career, a 21-day online course that will teach you how to get a job faster. We originally sold access to the course for $152, but we’ve recently decided to open it up to everyone for FREE.

Here’s the story behind why we created Found Your Career.
