Phew! Getting through high school and college are challenges that few people wish to repeat once they become adults. Wait, not so fast: being an adult raises an entire new set of hurdles; from creating a résumé that will distinguish you from the hundreds of thousands of other new grads each year to transitioning a crisp degree into a job, and eventual career.

Teena Rose, a certified and published résumé writer and career specialist with Résumé to Referral, offers career assistant to new graduates who are stumbling with short- and long-term career decisions. Mrs. Rose knows that the choices you make today will affect your job status tomorrow, next month, and over the history of your life.

With countless written works on her résumé, including Résumé and Job-search Strategies for New Grads (available winter, 2004), Mrs. Rose offers insight to challenging obstacles that new graduates face within an employer's job market. Topics covered over the years include dealing with limited work experience, how to make newbies to the workforce "look and smell" like seasoned pros, and how to push your way to the front of line for prime, entry-level positions.

Classroom to cubicle and paycheck … a smooth transition if you have the right equipment (e.g. skill set and capabilities), you surround yourself with skilled players, and you have a cheerleading section to keep you motivated and on track.
