You spent years studying. Why can't you answer the simplest question? You received good grades in high school and college, yet you still don't have the answer. Your GPA is impressive. You made the Dean's List, yet you still struggle with the simplest question in the world

According to Gartner, 60% of employees report that they aren’t receiving the on-the-job coaching necessary to support their core job skills. That's painful. What's even more painful? More than 90% of college students are not getting the job search and interview coaching they

March Madness is coming. Selection Sunday is <3 weeks away. Who are you rooting for? In the context of current "bracketology," we have Arizona, Clemson, Texas, and UC San Diego fans in our hallways, but we don't play favorites. Oh yeah, Go Tigers!

It's that time of year! We celebrated "Ain't Paddy's Day," rocked Spring Break, and are ready for March Madness! There is some solid Second Step representation in the tournament this year. 1). Clemson University (Midwest) 2). Arizona (East) 3). UC San Diego (South) 4). Ole Miss

New graduates with four-year degrees will soon be unemployable due to AI. They will be unemployable unless they graduate with a four-year degree AND four years of work experience. Dr. Sergey Sundukovskiy alluded to this last night in his presentation, “Startups in the Age of

You don’t need more experience. You need a better way to talk about it. Your resume is not a list of tasks. It’s a highlight reel. Your trailer. Your best 90 seconds. And right now, most college students are writing resumes like homework assignments: - “Worked at the campus gym”

If you applied to 100 jobs and heard back from 2, this is for you. Let’s fix your application strategy. The truth is, most job seekers — especially students — make three big mistakes: 1) They apply everywhere. → Without targeting roles where their story fits. 2) They send the

You will never rise to the occasion. You’ll fall to the level of your preparation. Let’s talk interviews. If you’ve got one coming up — or just want to be ready — here’s how to walk in with confidence, not nerves: 1) Write down 3 stories from your life — not just work. Think

Your job search isn’t just about applications. It’s about conversations. Here’s a 3-step script you can use today to reach out to someone on LinkedIn (even if you’ve never met them): 1) Start with context. “Hi [Name], I’m a junior at [University] studying marketing and came

If you’re not doing mock interviews, you’re not ready. Want to stand out in an interview? Don’t wait until the real thing to practice. Here’s a simple mock interview setup that works: Find a friend (or a parent, roommate, or coach). Give them 5 common questions like: 1) “Tell

Your GPA isn’t your whole story. It’s barely chapter one. If you’ve got a perfect 4.0, congrats. But that’s not why you’ll get hired. If your GPA is average, or even below, don’t stress. That doesn’t define you either. What matters more? - Can you solve problems? - Can you work

Most students sleep on LinkedIn. That’s your opportunity. LinkedIn is more powerful than you think — especially for students. And no, you don’t need to be an influencer. Here’s how to make your profile work for you: Headline: Don’t put “Student at XYZ University.” Instead,

Most resumes read like a diary of what you did. But hiring managers want to know what you changed. Here’s a quick test: read your resume out loud. If every line starts with “Responsible for…” — it’s time to upgrade. Try this instead: Start with action. “Led,” “Launched,”
