Don't miss out on this empowering episode that will inspire you to make impactful changes in your professional journey.

My wife, who went to a better school, had better GPA, and overall on paper was a better candidate, struggled to get a job while I had 6-7 job offers after graduation.

She’s smarter, she's harder working and essentially a better hire than I am, but I ultimately had better offers because of the strategies I was implementing. And I notice this happens most of the time with my female clients.

To learn how to overcome this, I invited Maricella Herrera, CEO of Ellevate Network, on our show to discuss women's career development. We talked about becoming noticeable, building your network and finding the right companies.

If you're one of the millions of women who work really hard, but you feel like you're overlooking opportunities, listen to this episode now and learn to master the job search.

This is the secret behind interview questions.

Whenever an interviewer asks you something, think about this first. Why are they asking you this question? How do they really want you to answer?

Something people seem to forget during interviews, is that there is always a question behind a question.

And the right answer will always be driven by what you think the interviewer wants to hear, meaning all the things that would benefit them, their team, and their company.

Confused? No worries!

In today’s episode, I invited David Fano (Founder & CEO at Teal) and we discussed what you need to know to successfully sell yourself during interviews and land your dream offer, including:

Becoming the person everyone wants to hire.
What the “Tell me about yourself” question really means and how you should answer it.
The questions you should be asking.

Are you the victim or the victor of your story?

Do you think you are unlucky and that nothing good happens to you?

Well the truth is that I used to think that way.

I used to look at my life and think of all the negative things and ignore the bad.

Then I was introduced to a growth mindset.

When I shifted how I looked at the world, the world literally changed for the positive.

That is when I realized that our environment and our surroundings do not define us.

Now, I get that this is easier said than done, but it is something we need to focus on.

That is why on this episode of the podcast I brought my friend Justin Schenck to the show.

Justin has been able to overcome massive obstacles and beat out the statistics.

Now Justin has a thriving community and host one of the best podcasts around Growth Now Movement.

Where he has interviewed some of the most successful people alive.

Including Dean Graziosi ,Ed Mylett and Andy Frisella.

And on this episode of the podcast we talk about :

If you had the chance to interview 30 recruiters from companies like Google, BCG, Airbnb, and Tiktok what would you ask them?

How helpful do you think it would be towards your job search advice?

Do you think it will give you an under hand?

The answer is obvious.

This information is extremely powerful and will give you the upper hand in the job search process.

So that is why I had to bring my friend AJ Eckstein to the podcast. AJ Eckstein is the host of The Final Round Podcast, in which he interviews recruiters from the world's top companies.

During this episode, AJ and I discuss common advice that recruiters he has interviewed have mentioned. We also speak about how to network your way to the interview and much more.

When you apply to a job you are usually one of hundreds applicants! Statistically speaking it feels like a losing battle. But here are 2 things you can do to dramatically improve your chances of getting noticed. Stop using the stay and pray approach. Focus on networking to gain visibility The reality is that companies might get hundreds of applications but most people are not qualified since they are applying to everything. If you want to learn more about this topic I had Mac Prichard on the podcast. He found Mac’s list over 20 years ago and host the top podcast in job search “Find Your Dream Job” with over 2 million downloads. This is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Getting a job in America is very different from getting a job in another country. Yet most international students don’t change their approach. The fact is that many things that made you successful in your country can be the things holding you back. To explore this topic more we had Rob Adams a cross cultural expert and founder of Chai & Coaching to the podcast. In this episode we spoke about the biggest culture difference between America and Asia and what international students need to do differently to stand out. Check out this episode to learn more!!

We assume that graduating and getting a job is the finish line, but it is the start of a marathon. The problem is that this marathon is very different than the one we just finished. During our school years, we had structure. We were told what to do to get to the next grade and even graduate. But in the career marathon, we don't have the level of support. It is up to us to own our careers and be strategic so that we can continue to level up. That is why in today’s episode of the How to Land a Job podcast I brought Maya Grossman to the show. She is a Peak Performance coach with over 15 Years of experience, a best-selling author, and ex-Google and marketing. So if you want to own your career make sure you check out the show.

How important is GPA when it comes to getting hired? I graduated college with a 2.9 GPA. This is something that I am not proud of, and in fact, if I could give myself some advice about GPA this is what I would tell myself knowing what I know today. You should look at your GPA like you look at your Credit Score! This is because companies look at it like this. 3.5-4.0 GPA = Perfect credit 3.0-3.4 GPA = Good credit 2.0- 2.9 GPA = Poor Credit The key here is to get to a good credit score. This will be enough to get your application approved. However, if you reach the threshold the incremental benefits of raising your GPA decimals are very minimum. At this point, I would suggest focusing your efforts on networking, internships, and student organizations. Your GPA has little to no effect on your future employment opportunities after your first job or your first 2 years after graduation. The only other thing that GPA becomes relevant again is if you are applying for grad school. So I would tell young Daniel to focus just a little bit more and make sure that I graduate with a 3.0 GPA, not a 2.9. If you want to learn more about this check out the last episode of the podcast as I cover this topic and give you details on how to handle your GPA in College!

Have you ever been ghosted? Well, you are not alone. Getting ghosted is by far one of the most frustrating things about the job search process. But did you know there are things you can do to minimize or eliminate ghosting all together? In this week’s episode of the podcast, I have a conversation with my mentee Ashley Ortiz Ashley has worked in recruiting for companies like Disney, Sea World, and Marriot. We have a conversation about the job of a recruiter. Why does ghosting happen And what can job seekers do to avoid it and increase their chances of getting hired So if you are tired of getting ghosted, then this is the episode for you!

You got a summer internship congratulations! But how do you turn it into a full time job? Here is thing that if you do will practically guarantee you get the offer!! #1. Understand how you are being measured. Have a clear understanding of what your Key Performance indicators (KPIs) are. #2 Have bi-weekly check up calls with your manager Make sure you and your manager are on the same page. Review your KPIs and make sure you are doing a great job #3 Network with as many people as possible Make it a goal to grab lunch or a zoom call with at least 2 new people a week. Keep a record of each call and make sure you keep the conversation going. #4 Be a leader among your peers You don’t need a title to be a leader. Volunteer to help organize event for the interns and show your leadership skills # 5 Ask for the full time job Don’t be afraid to communicate with your manger and HR that you are looking to build a career with the organization. Ask them what do you need to do in order to get the full time offer. At the end of the day it is in the companies best interest to give it to you! If you want to learn more about these steps check out the latest episode of the How to get a job podcast where I dive into each step in more detail.

Most international students make the same three mistakes when it comes to job searching. In this episode, I will talk about what they are and how you can avoid making them.

My goal is to DEBUNK the 3 biggest myths most international students believe about finding a job:

Myth #1: If you apply for enough jobs, you will eventually get one company to say yes.
Pro-tip: When it comes to job hunting in 2022, Quality matters much more than Quantity.

Myth #2: You are missing one more certification or degree.
Pro-tip: Odds are that your resume or skills are not the problem. You need more visibility.

Myth #3: Your experience is holding you back from landing your dream job.
Pro-tip: Companies care more about your potential than your experience. You just have to learn how to communicate it.

Who is responsible for your career? You, your manager, your company, your company’s HR, or someone else?

You might be surprised by the answer.

This week, I’ve invited author Alexa Riccardi Cabal, an expert at leadership and development, to discuss how you can take charge of your personal development in the new year.

Why do most people blame the employer when they don't get the job or get the promotion? We know the right answer, yet we fail to plan and take action. I don’t want you to be like most people. Instead, I want you to be different and truly own your professional development.

That is why you must listen to this episode to learn how to truly own your career!

I’ve always believed that the lessons learned from overcoming major challenges in your upbringing will help you overcome future challenges. As a first generation, minority, and international college student, I had overcome my past to get where I am today.

This week, I’ve invited Frank Gonzales, a good friend with a non-traditional background, to discuss this topic. We used to think our pasts as immigrants would predict our future, but we were wrong.

How we overcome our past is how we predict our future.

How do other people define you? If your colleagues and acquaintances were asked to describe you, would it be positive?

In this week’s episode, I sat down with Briar Dougherty, founder of Career Organic, to talk more about how we are not what other people think we are. Instead, we are who we think we are.

From the perspective of a first generation, minority, and international college student, you might face even more pressure as you begin progressing in your career, but don’t let this stop you from accomplishing your goals.

It’s hard to not let others’ expectations define you, especially when it comes from the people you love the most. You should not let external expectations dictate your life, career, and goals.

If I told you that 80% of jobseekers get a job by doing one thing, would you want to know the secret? The funny thing is that it’s not a secret at all.

On this week’s episode, I've invited Reno Perry to dive into networking on LinkedIn. We discuss what we teach our clients about networking that allows them to increase their visibility in their career field.

How have you been applying for jobs? Well, I bet you’ve been applying the wrong way.

I have worked with thousands of job seekers, and 99% are. If you are a job seeker and want to get a job in less than 90 days follow these five steps:

Find open jobs that match what you are looking for.
Research the job, the company, and the department.
Customize your resume and cover letter before applying by using your research and job description.
Apply for the role.
Increase your application’s visibility by networking with hiring managers, future coworkers, and recruiters.

Follow this process for each role, and I promise you’ll have better results!

How do you plan on taking your career to the next level?

To answer this question, I invited AJ Eckstein to discuss how he took his collegiate career and turned it from small town community college to a prestigious university.

Despite his high school's negative stigma, he attended community college. He then flipped his script, getting a 4.0 GPA and having five internships, before transferring to the University of Southern California.

After graduating with the “Most Outstanding President Award” and “Diversity and Inclusion Award,” he created his Career Coaching Company to help graduates obtain their dream jobs.

Do you have any habits? Are they good or bad? Are they helping you or hurting you?

I’m going to throw it back for you. I recorded this episode a few years ago, but the topic I talk about is still important to this day: Habits.

In this week’s episode, I talk about the importance of habits and how the habits you implement today dictate your future. I dive into my personal habits, good and bad, and I talk about three habits that every student should have to guarantee career success in the future.

You’ll be able to take hold of your image and use it to your advantage after learning these three simple steps:

I dared my team to dream big, and I was surprised with what they came up with.

I wanted to take a day to have everyone on my team do a vision board because I felt like many of them were being held back by their limiting beliefs. Before they wrote down any goals, we went around asking each other these questions:

If you had a $1 million and had to spend it all in one day and could not save it, what would you do with it?
If money and time were not an object, what would you want to accomplish with your life?
What makes life worth giving everything you got?
When you are on your deathbed, what needs to happen for you to be satisfied with the life you lived?

Then, I shared my life goals and vision, so they knew that nothing is off limits. Then they had to write their goals, find pictures that represented them, print them, then put it on a cardboard, and share them with the group. To say I was blown away would be an understatement.

This day made our team so much closer and aligned. We all know what we want in our life and are committed to helping each other reach them.

I have a feeling that this day will be one that will be talked about forever!

Now, I want you to join us! Check out the episode if you want to know what you need to do to make sure everything you dream becomes a reality.

Too many people believe that they are nothing but just another applicant to a company. However, companies are just as desperate to find the perfect applicant.

Hello, MC2C family! In the past couple of years, talk about diversity recruiting and how companies can build a team that mimics the communities that they serve is increasing.

As I continue to immerse myself in this subject matter, I have come to the conclusion that there are two main reasons there is not enough diversity in top companies.

One of those reasons is that diverse candidates don’t know how to get the right visibility from these top companies. On the other hand, top companies don’t know how to find the right diverse candidates.

Closing these bridges is the challenge that we have.

Well, I have found an amazing company that is doing this very well. Canvas! They are on a mission to help the future look like you!

To talk about this amazing FREE platform for candidates, I interviewed my good friend and VP of Marketing Maya Grossman on my podcast.

We spoke more about this problem and gave advice on how you, as a diverse candidate, can use Canvas to gain visibility.

You think getting a job is hard? Try getting a job as an international student.

Not only is the legal process complicated to understand, but it is also difficult to navigate. Based on my experience, international students apply to 10 times as more jobs than traditional students. Yet, you spent more than half of your time applying for the wrong companies.

Did you know that only around 33% of all companies actually sponsor? Most international students don’t take the time to find this out before they apply, causing them to waste their time.

Before you fill out the next application, ask yourself the following questions:

Has the company you are applying for sponsored someone before?
If yes, have they sponsored someone for the role you are applying for?

This is just one of the topics Robert Bouchard, the H1B Guy, and I spoke about in today’s episode of the MC2C Podcast.

Raise your hand if you don't know the answer to these questions: Do you know your credit score? Do you know what the 50, 30, 20 rule is? Do you know what a 401k is?

If you fall in this category of college students that don’t know the answers, don’t be alarmed. Many college students know nothing about financial literacy because it’s not taught to the general public.

So, I invited expert financial educator Angel Radcliffe to talk about basic budgeting topics all college students should know, such as the aforementioned credit score and 50, 30, 20 rule.

In this episode, Angel and I discuss financial literacy regarding student loans, credit cards, bank loans, and rent and provide basic financial tips to help you save money.

Have you ever met someone and said to yourself, “That person will change the world?”

That was my first thought when I met Joe Knopp. From our first conversation, I knew that I had to be part of his life and help him reach his full potential.

Joe is not your average Joe. He is a serial entrepreneur, full of energy and drive to make an impact. He spent all of his savings on 2,000 bottles in the hope that he can sell them and use the profits to build a water well.

For every Ripple Bottle you buy, you help provide clean water to someone in need. Every time you get to enjoy your clean water from a Ripple Bottle, you can feel grateful that you were able to help someone on the other side of the world have clean water too.

There's more to Joe than just his company Ripple, so I invite you to get to know him during this episode of the Mastering College to Career podcast!

“What can I do to get a job in the United States? Is applying for a work visa easier than applying for citizenship? How long does this process usually take?”

These are only a few questions that hundreds of thousands of recent college graduates are asking themselves.

To help those of you in this situation, I've invited immigration attorney Pedro Dearaujo to answer these important questions about the immigration process.

Pedro and I talk about everything from common misconceptions regarding immigration to how a person can make the immigration process easier for them. Some questions we cover on this episode include:

1.) It is very hard for a company to sponsor a recent college graduate. True or False?

2.) Should you answer yes or no to tricky questions, such as, “Will you in the future require sponsorship for employment?”

3.) How much does it cost companies to sponsor an employee?

4.) What can I do to make the process easier for the employer?

5.) What are some other common paths to residency in America?

Pedro sits down and fully immerses us in his world as an immigration attorney. He gives important advice on what you can do to get a job in the United States.

Check out this episode for quick and easy tips to make your process easier! And don't hesitate to contact Pedro with any further questions or visit his website!

LinkedIn family, I need your help! I want to bring awareness to one of the coolest internships available to the Hispanic community, so please help me by tagging college students that might be interested!

The internship is with the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute and is a semester-long internship program, featuring placement in Congressional and corporate legislative affairs offices. Students will gain educational and hands-on experience with project-based public policy programs. The program will take place in the fall semester.

In my opinion, it is like doing two internships in one.

This fantastic opportunity will allow students to live in Washington, D.C paid for by CHLI, and build relationships that will change your life.

I am a big fan of this organization and what they are trying to do. That is why I did a podcast episode with their president and CEO, Mary Ann Gomez Orta, to talk about this fantastic opportunity.

I have left a link to apply in the comments and a link to the full episode.

If you are reading this and don’t think this is for you, then don’t be selfish and tag a friend who might be interested in this fantastic opportunity.

It’s not your university’s responsibility to get you a job and it’s not your future employer’s responsibility to get you a promotion.

At the end of the day, you need to own your career and your life.

All of these stakeholders in your life can help you, but you need to lead the charge. You need to take action and put in the work.

I remember a presentation that HR gave during my orientation week at PepsiCo and they said that 80% of your career is up to you and 20% is up to the company.

Ever since that moment I realized the importance of owning your career.

So that’s why in this episode of the podcast I talk to Dr. Jeanette K. Winters, a proven executive that has held leadership roles for Multiple Fortune 500 companies including Fortune 500 leaders such as Amgen, Pitney Bowes, American Express and Intel.

We discuss how to own your career starting as a college student, how to find the right company, and much much more.

It’s no surprise that my focus is to help 1st generation and minority students land jobs with top companies.

One of my main strategies for helping my students is having them research companies that have set goals to improve the diversity of their workforce.

This is important to know since companies that have made diversity and inclusion a priority usually have a team of recruiters that are focused on attracting and retaining diverse candidates.

So I wanted to bring a guest on the show to talk about Diversity Recruiting and to explain what the best ways to get noticed by top companies are.

In this episode of the podcast I am talking to Carlos Butler-Vale, the Global Director of Diversity & Inclusion at McDonald’s.

If you want to learn more about why companies do Diversity Recruiting (yes, it’s a smart business move) and how you can leverage your diversity to get noticed by top companies then check out this episode of the Mastering College to Career Podcast.

It is often said that your network is your net worth and the more I grow in my professional career the more I see this to be true.

This is why without a doubt relationships are the real currency to business.

So in this episode of the podcast I bring my mentor Curtis Lewsey, the National Best Selling Author of Appreciation Marketing and Founder and CEO of AM Cards to talk about this subject.

Curtis is a master when it comes to building relationships and creating a system to maintain long lasting friendships.

If you’ve ever received a thank you card from me, chances are that it was sent using Curtis’ company AM Cards.

Building real relationships throughout your life will not only exponentially improve your career but it will also improve your overall life.

It’s all about who you are and how you’re showing up in people’s life.

So if you want to learn more about this crucial topic, I highly suggest you listen to the full episode.

At the end of the episode Curtis gave out a very special offer to all my listeners. If you want to get a free copy of his national best selling book please check out EarnReferrals.com.

In this episode of the podcast, I talk to Miguel Angel Cuen. He’s a Computer Science Engineering student at Arizona State University and a National Board Member at SHPE.

In our conversation, we talk about how joining SHPE has changed his life and why every student should consider joining a student organization.

Joining a student organization gives you the ability to expand your network, develop your leadership capabilities, and build critical skills that employers are looking for.

So if you’re currently in a student organization or if you’ve ever thought of joining one, this is an episode that you can’t miss.

Show Notes In this episode of the podcast I talk to one of my good friends, James Carbary. James is the CEO and Founder of Sweetfish Media and the Author of Content-Based Networking.

James and I were scheduled to talk to a class of marketing seniors at the University of Central Florida about the power of podcasts. With everything that’s currently going on, we took our conversation online to do what we know how to do best… Make it into a podcast.

James and I talk about why everyone should start a podcast. Podcasting is one of the best ways to expand your network and it even opens doors to opportunities that you may not have known existed.

We dive into what it takes to start a podcast, what tools you need, and we explain why you don’t need to be an expert on the subject to interview experts.

James also shares his secrets to success. One of them being that you don’t need to be the hero of the story. Instead, you should be the one that shines the spotlight on your guest.

If you’ve ever wanted to start a podcast, but had thoughts that podcasting was too hard or too complicated, listen to this episode and learn how it’s much easier than you think.

The Journey to Cloud Nine: Confront the Past Redefine the Future

In this episode of the podcast I talk to Luis Guzman, an alumni student from the Mastering College to Career Academy. He went from applying to 20+ companies and not hearing back from any to getting recruited like a pro athlete. He landed 4 internships and a full-time job offer from his top company 2 semesters before graduation.

No more wondering if you have the "perfect" resume.

I am going to share with you the proven strategies I uncovered while doing campus recruiting for PepsiCo at one of the largest Universities in the country. You're going to learn the #1 reason why 96% of applicants never even hear back, I am also going to show you how to be part of the 1% that gets put on the "list", and finally you're going to discover how to access the hidden job market (where over 80% of jobs are filled).

In this episode of the podcast I talk about why I think the resume is dying and why you need to put more effort into your LinkedIn profile.

Your LinkedIn profile will get viewed more times than your resume because it’s public and it gives employers all of the relevant information that they are looking for in one place.

So make sure you listen to the whole episode and make your LinkedIn profile a priority.

For those who want to take action, I have created the Mastering LinkedIn Mini Book. This will show you step by step how to create an All Star LinkedIn profile. It will also give you tons of examples of profiles from students who have already executed my suggestions.

I often get asked what my #1 piece of advice would be for students to get a job.

It was hard for me to just think of one, but after thinking a lot about my experience as a student as well as the experiences of the students that I’ve helped I’ve decided on the most important piece of advice. I have finally picked THAT ONE THING that if done will lead to you landing a job with your dream company.

That one thing is becoming the ideal candidate for your dream company.

Research shows that when a company hires the wrong person it costs them 1x - 5x that person’s first-year salary.

So what I have found is that most recruiters are hiring the student that they feel would be the safer bet.

When you do the research and become the ideal candidate then you lower their risk, which will increase your chances of receiving the job offer.

Not all weeks of your semester are created equal. There is one week in the semester that can change the trajectory for the rest of your college career. That week is the week of the career fair.

If you are a college student that is currently looking for a job or an internship then attending the Career Fair is a MUST.

I have seen students attend the Career Fair and end up receiving multiple internship offers by the end of the week. At the same time, I have also seen students attend the Career Fair without a game plan thinking that they did well, but they ultimately never hear back from the companies they spoke with.

This is why in this episode I am going to give you the strategies that I teach my students to MASTER the Career Fair. The goal is to have you walk away with multiple on-campus interviews lined up which will lead to offers.

I often get asked why I don’t talk about GPA in my book or in my content. I tell people that it’s because everyone is talking about GPA and I personally do not think GPA is that important. In my opinion, you should focus less on GPA and more on networking. Since this is such an important topic I have decided to bring in my friend Manny De La Cruz to debate the importance of GPA on the podcast.

Manny brings a different perspective to this debate since he works in a more technical field where GPA is more important.

Manny works for ExxonMobile as a North America Olefins Optimizer and a Minority Recruiter.

Studies show that over 80% of jobs are acquired by referrals. This is why networking is one of the most important skills a college student can learn.

In this video, I talk about my 5 rules of networking that every student should follow. These rules have allowed me to build long-lasting relationships with hundreds of individuals world wide. The 5 rules are:

#1 Always start with what’s in it for them

#2 Only receive something when you really need it

#3 Make sure you stay top of mind

#4 Position yourself as a trusted advisor

#5 Stay true to your word

I also go on to speak about how to network at a live event. I give multiple tips, but my favorite tip is to get there early and introduce yourself to the event organizer.

In this episode I have a conversation with a good friend, Ryan Plaza. He is the Founder of New Rich, a clothing brand with a mission. Ryan has an interesting story because he didn’t finish college, yet he’s found more success in his career than most people I know with a degree. The theme of this episode is about not letting school get in the way of your education. The moral of the story is that you need to take your personal development into your own hands if you want to reach your goals.

After you listen to this episode, make sure you check out Ryan’s podcast at http://benewrich.com/.

In this episode, I speak with Jeffrey Moss. Jeffrey is the Founder and CEO of Parker Dewey, a company that focuses on improving the college-to-career process, one Micro-Internship at a time.

We discuss the power of micro-internships and how they can play a crucial role in students landing their dream jobs.

Here are my top 3 reasons why every student should explore micro-internships:

They allow you to explore different career options, without committing to a 10-week internship
They allow you to gain experience working in the same field, but with multiple companies
They allow you to test drive companies before going to work for them full time

Make sure you listen to the full episode and visit https://www.parkerdewey.com/ to learn more about the platform and how you can start applying for micro-internships today!

In this episode, I will be talking about how landing your dream job is as simple as taking an open book test. One big problem that I see is that students never take the time to figure out what companies they want to work for so they never get the answers to their open book test. Once you’ve figured this out and you’ve created a target list of companies that you want to work for, your focus should be on gaining the skills that you need to become the ideal candidate.

If you have yet to figure out what companies make up your target list, don’t worry! I’ve created a workbook that will help you create your target list.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of self-assessments. Taking the time to understand where you see your life 5-10 years from now is crucial to knowing how you should spend your time now as a college student.

This is such an important topic that students often overlook. Don’t wait to start conducting your self-assessment! Take 30 minutes now to download the Self Assessment Worksheet and complete it. It’s better to slow down and take time to do your assessment than go 100 MPH in the wrong direction.

In this episode, I explain why every student should make their transition from college to career their #1 priority. Your first job out of college sets the foundation for the rest of your professional career which is why this is so important.

[ 4:30] Who determines how much you should get paid?

[ 5:30] ⅔ students graduate college without a job lined up

[ 7:30] Story about a student that graduated with a job offer making double the average salary

My hope is that after listening to this podcast episode, you will make your transition from college to career your #1 priority.

I created a Mastering College To Career Checklist to go along with this episode. If you can check off all 24 items on the checklist, you will set yourself up for success.

In this Episode of the podcast, I talk about the importance of job shadowing. Many students don’t know what they want to do after graduation and I often get asked what is the best strategy to find out?

In my opinion, the ultimate way is to job shadow and spend a day in the life of any career you might be interested in.

This is a lot like speed dating.

This will allow you to test different industries, roles, and companies without any major commitment.

From there you have an idea of what you prefer and your able to specify what type of internship you want.

She graduated from college in four years and she had her dream job lined up before graduating. She tells us all about her story and she explains how she was able to land her dream job.

Each year during my birthday I look back and analyze my life that past year. I think about what obstacles I faced and what did I do right. I work on making sure that each year that goes by is better than the previous year.

The top 3 lessons I learned while I was 28 where:

Start working on your long term goals today, because daily actions lead to massive results.
There is no short cut to success. It takes 10,000 hours of hard work to master your craft.
Being naive is not a bad thing. It is actually a great thing.

Make sure you listen to the whole episode as I go into detail on each lesson and share my biggest challenges of the year.

Today’s podcast episode is one that applies to all students. Regardless if you are graduating high school and entering college or if you are about to go into your last semester of college.

Since Dr. Greg is a nutrition expert I also asked him to give us some advice on healthy habits that college students should make part of their routine.

Everything happens twice.. First in your mind and then in real life. This is why I focus on having the right mindset when I work with students.

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about my personal mindset transformation. I tell the story of how I went from hating to read to reading one book each week.

One of the best ways to build the skills to land your dream job is to take part in Internships. To me there are three types of internships: discovery internships, experience internships, and foot in the door internships. When I work with students I challenge them to figure out the goal of their internship. What do you want to gain from that experience? Are you choosing an internship to discover if you want to go into that industry? Are you choosing an internship because you are looking to gain more experience and build up your skills to help you become the ideal candidate? Do you want to do an internship with that particular company because that is the company that you want to work for after graduation? In this episode of the podcast I talk about the three types of internships and share my personal experiences.

Many of you listening to this podcast may wonder, "Why is Daniel doing this?" or "Why is he so passionate about this topic?" As you'll hear in this episode, much of what I know today are things I had to figure out for myself. I was fortunate to be raised by a hard working mother who gave me the work ethic I have today. I didn't have all the answers and that's why I do this! I want to help those of you that were in the same position I was when I was in college. I hope you all gain value from this episode and please let me know if I can ever help! Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/masteringcollegetocareer/message
