CUPERTINO, CA (PR Web) – September 25, 2011
Like all bright, academically talented young people, Christine Ruff expected to find her dream job right out of college. She graduated with honors and immediately found a biology research lab that was a perfect fit. But when the lab's funding was slashed, and Christine got laid off, she realized that the downturn had come home.
Since Christine's natural inclination is to always land on her feet, she saw an opportunity that others might have missed--to learn life lessons from the rigorous, challenging, and often frustrating job search that followed. With diligence and attention to detail, she gathered the wisdom she picked up along the way. And now, with her mother, LinkedIn Diva Lori Ruff, she brings it to you in #ENTRY LEVEL tweet Book02.
This unique and optimistic book is a refreshing combination of Christine's fresh perspective and Lori's corporate and life experiences. Written in the very readable tweet format, the authors bring you timely and effective tips to help you make a successful transition from university to the professional virtual world. For example, the authors caution this tweet: Online communities mirror real life. Treat virtual relationships as if you are in the same room. Another example is this invaluable insight, Employers can train skills, not passion. Try to find opportunities that align with your interests.
Not unexpectedly, praise for this book has flowed in from across the world. From Melbourne, Australia, the Founder of Career Success Radio, Keith Keller, shares that "Christine Ruff makes it really simple. She speaks from the wisdom of experience; she is wise beyond her years. Combining the depth of Lori Ruff’s experience throughout the book as well empowers the reader to find what they’re looking for." Closer to home, Douglas Lemmonds, the Executive VP of TMI Executive Resources, praises the book for being "An excellent and comprehensive introduction to the mysteries of the job search and the differing norms a graduate or recent graduate will be assessed against as they begin their potentially lifelong interaction with corporate America."
Christine and Lori tweet practical advice on highlighting your experience and education, engaging professionals in the online business community, and finding and benefiting from peers and mentors. You will also learn to build credibility as an adult and a professional in the social media world. With ENTRY LEVEL tweet Book02, no matter what tomorrow's economic scenario may hold, you can step out with confidence into your chosen professional world.
