What qualifies the author to give you advice and represent himself as a subject matter expert when it comes to helping get college students hired?
A message from the author on why he wrote the book?
My name is Mark Lyden. After reviewing the advice and information out there for college students on how to get hired, too much of it was simply bad advice. There are people claiming to be subject matter experts but either don't recruit college students as their profession or have very little experience recruiting college students on college campuses in today's challenging market; that is why I wrote the book. There is some good advice out there but from what I have read, there is much bad advice as there is good. But how does the student, trying to get hired, know which advice is good or bad? Students need one source they can trust. A source where the information and advice has been PROVEN TO WORK with thousands of students already. Students don't want or need all the advice and information out there, they just want what works best. My book College Students: DO THIS! GET HIRED! gives them that.

DO THIS! GET HIRED!
Being an academic, I was at first a bit skeptical of the book "College Students: Do This! Get Hired!" The book is not formatted in the academic tradition and I wasn't sure what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised by author Mark Lyden's approach for getting hired. Most books focus on making your resume stand out, interview tips to polish yourself, etc. But this book takes a different approach: assume the interviewer WANTS to hire you, and tailor your own approach to help him or her do just that. In other words, understand what pressures the recruiter faces, and make it easy for the recruiter do his or her job to get you through the hiring process. Mr. Lyden has a decade of experience as a recruiter for a major corporation, and has plenty of good advice. Of course, Mr. Lyden does offer traditional advice on resumes and interviews, but he frames this advice from the perspective of helping the recruiter get you through the hiring process, not simply to make yourself look good. This advice is very rich and should be heeded by anyone looking for a job or internship.

Mark Lyden's book "College Students Do This! Get Hired! has turned my frustrating job search experience into a truly rewarding venture. Just 6 weeks after applying his techniques starting with the restructuring of my resume to the honing of my interview skills through "mock interview" sessions at the career services office of my alma mater, I have landed a position in the company of my dreams.
Thanks Mark for this contribution which has greatly aided me and which will aid other college students in their job search. I highly recommend and endorse it. Arlene Serene Valladares Paz, B.S., M.A.S. Walden University PhD Candidate School of Public Policy and Administration |
