Glenn BushinskiPublished 7 years ago in JournalConcerns for Entry-Level Jobs
Entry-level jobs mark beginning of the career for college graduates. Initially, the job options available were limited to a few sectors. The prerequisites for those jobs were limited as well, and a high school education or a degree was sufficient to land a job. Economic conditions that prevailed then were not belligerent as they are now. With the world getting globalized and an augmentation of labor-force across the world, job seekers now face the risk of losing their jobs to someone sitting in a different corner of the world. And to add more problems to their existing concerns, technological advancements have led to the development of machines, which can perform tasks more efficiently, thereby increasing the risk of losing their job to man-made machines.
Let's Talk Passion and If You Have Any
Know that you are unique... We all have been endowed with incredible talents, gifts, and abilities from birth. Our gifts mean that each of us carries on the inside a solution to a particular problem.

I hope that you're inspired enough after reading this to discover (or rediscover) your passion, and to do something positive about it.

Did you fall for the same hook, line and sinker growing up that I fell for?Buckle down, get good grades in high school, go to college so you can land a good job and be set for life. At the time it seemed like great advice from people that truly cared, like your parents or a mentor you trust. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they had your best interest at heart and only wanted you to succeed in life. But here's where the problem starts, there are very few people out there who truly know how to provide career counseling in the 21st Century. If you're like the ten's of thousands of recent college grads who were great listeners and followed this advice, then why are all the coffee shops employed by recent college educated professionals still looking for that dream job?
