Donald Asher, America's career guru, believes that success comes from an alignment of passion and preparation. First tip: Your college major has very little to do with your job options. In fact, you can get to virtually any life-goal destination from virtually any starting point. Stephen Colbert was a philosophy major. Chad Hurley, billionaire founder of YouTube, was an art major. And while we're at it, Albert Einstein was a high-school drop-out. Still think your college major will determine your life path? Think again. HOW TO GET ANY JOB is the first book that definitively answers the following questions, and many more: A- What is "life launch" and how is it different from getting a job? --- B- Why do employers hire people like you? --- C- Which skills do employers value most? (They're not what you think!) --- D- How do non-tech people get hired and thrive in tech companies? --- E- How do you set yourself up to get promoted? --- F- How do you prove you have skills that don't show up on your transcripts? --- G- How do you get experience if you can't get a job, or have the "wrong" major? --- H- How can you get famous and influential people to help you? --- I- How do you hit restart if you get stuck in a dead-end job out of college? --- J- What should you do if you're a graduate and living in your parents' basement? --- K- What should you do if you're a junior to make sure you don't end up in that basement? -- Back cover.

If you have ever thought to yourself that you’d better choose your major carefully because it will affect your career opportunities for the rest of your life, you need to read this book. The back cover gives the revealing facts: “Alan Greenspan was a music major, Lisa Kudrow was a biology major, and Albert Einstein was a high-school dropout.” The rest of the book explains why your major is not as important as you think it is, and how to launch a fulfilling career—not just a job—in any area, no matter what you majored in.
