Statistics show that nearly half of college graduates today are either unemployed or underemployed. There has never been a more important time to stand out for young professionals and college students than today during the most competitive, saturated markets ever. There are universal struggles that all young professionals face as they break into the workplace. NEXTPERT Concepts helps turn college students into young professionals and young professionals into people of interest by standing out as the "BEST of the NEXT" generation. The concepts in this book simplify success strategies into three stages: (1) Discover your unique voice; (2) Develop platforms to voice them; (3) Decide to live from that voice each and every day. The author, Dr. Bruce Lund, wrote this book while finishing his PhD. During that time he accelerated his own growth through these simple "NEXTPERT" concepts. He now speaks all across the country about these timeless concepts, and helps young professionals compete with any generation through emotional intelligence, personal branding, and untitled leadership. It's time you see things as opportunities rather than obligations and to understand that, "Everyday in your current role is an interview for your NEXT role."
