Figuring Sh*t Out: The Guidebook for Landing a Job within Your Field of Study Fresh Out of College By: Alexis Thrower "I'm going to wait until after I graduate to start applying for jobs." "These jobs just aren't hiring." "I can't break into my field." These are just a few common sayings of soon-to-be graduates. Alexis Thrower wrote this book to share her journey and the lessons learned in school. After speaking with many of her counterparts who didn?t have a plan outside of applying for hundreds of jobs within their field to gain employment after college, she was determined to do things differently to make the time, effort, energy and money she invested worth it. All students do it ? envision what their life will be like after walking across the stage, ready for those childhood dreams to come true, possibly holding on to that kid-like naivety that things will happen because you graduated. The reality is quite the contrary. Leaning into her faith while paying keen attention to what worked and didn?t work for herself and her college peers, Alexis developed and implemented employable practices that proved successful as she swiftly landed a job within her field of study immediately after graduating. Her passion for education and desire to serve students is why she wrote this book ? to help the next wave of scholars so they, too, will quickly gain employment fresh out of college.
