Big Career in the Big City: Land a Job and Get a Life in New York
According to a poll by Time Out New York, 80 percent of young people say they want to live in New York City. For many, it’s a lifelong dream fueled by media images of the fame, fortune, excitement, and eclecticism that is New York. The vast majority of these dreamers, however, don’t know where to begin to make the leap to the big city.
No direction? Fughettabout it! Author, sassy journalist, and recruiting exec Vicki Salemi has been there and done that, going from living in the obligatory mouse-infested apartment to interviewing celebs like Angelina Jolie! Her book dishes the best advice to land a job AND a sizzling life in the city that never sleeps.
Picture it. The typical high school graduate, varsity letter winner and student government guru, is finally going off to college. She will soon explore unchartered territory, a land where loads of homework and a happening social scene rule her world. It is exciting and indeed overwhelming, but this teen can handle it. Her anxiety is now history because she has read and thoroughly digested the inside scoop, the quintessential survival guide, The ABC’s of College Life.
The Little House
Ok, this book isn’t exactly on Amazon. I wrote a lot of little stories when I was a little girl and kept my eye on the prize. I’ve always envisioned myself as an author! Always, always, always. Anyway, here is text from a book I wrote at five years-old. Keep in mind there were a few mispelled words and yes, the original contains illustrations (courtesy of Crayola crayons).
Once apon a time there was a small house.
It was so funny that grew biger.
And there was no more room.
The end.
Look out, world! Vicki Salemi is a vivacious "slasher" (a.k.a. slash careers = multi-tasker): Author / HR & career expert / Host of Score That Job / Reality TV Producer / Editor of MediaJobsDaily / Career Boot Camp Chief / journalist / public speaker / die-hard Yankees fan!
