Great advice! By following your advice job seekers will be able to discover the best career for them, and that I find that is one of the hardest things for them to do.
Recent Grads are faced with a difficult time because what they studied in college might not be what they would be good at in a career. So they are faced with wondering how they could possibly get a job with "no experience" and having not studied a particular industry in college.
I believe everybody is born with a unique talent...it isn't depended on "past experience" or "a certain degree", it is beyond that. For example: skills in social media and technology are very difficult to "qualify" or "quantify" on just a resume. It is a lot more effective to use a one-page job proposal in lieu of the cover letter. Companies are seeking specific talents that would not show up on a resume, so job seekers miss the opportunity to showcase them. Job proposal's are proving to be successful for recent grads, people in career transition and boomers staying in the workforce. Check it out: http://www.1-page.com

What practical recommendations here! I love two, in particular: 1) Attending a community college: Absolutely! Why not? It's cheaper, smaller group of students, chance to get one's feet wet in an academic course, and, most of all, a chance to begin interacting and navigating the dynamics of working with and learning from a professor--important and valuable; and 2) Turning a weakness into a strength: There's a TON of public speaking in college. How about checking out a Toastmaster's meeting over the summer? Toastmasters is an international public speaking organization. You may make some personal and professional contacts, as well as hone your speaking skill before you start college in the fall. Thank you for this insightful piece! I'm going to share with my students.
