18.I graduated in 2007 from an Ivy League school with a degree in Industrial and Labor Relations.I wanted to be an entrepreneur (企业家),but I had no idea,no experience,and no clue of what was possible.So I looked for jobs that might prepare me for entrepreneurship in the future.
I attended a number of interviews,but nobody wanted to hire me.My girlfriend and parents were losing patience with me,and I was extremely unhappy.I just wanted to be a productive part of society.
After learning about Woot.com,I came up with the idea of one job a day,so I started http://www.onedayonejob.com in late May,2008 and launched it in November,2008.I first had the idea of selling daily job postings,and I instead decided to introduce recent graduates to exciting companies.
After two years the company was profitable.Three and a half years later,I finally could make enough money to cover all of my personal expenses.More importantly,I've reached hundreds of thousands of college students and helped quite a few of them do what I couldn't--get an exciting job straight out of college.
I made a lot of friends who were doing the same thing along the way.Most of them failed and eventually used their experience to get a full-time job.To make a long story short,I'm a graduate who made his own job.The added twist is that my job is helping other people with their job searches.I often get called a"job search expert",but I'm really just an entrepreneur who uses the lessons he's learned from starting a business to teach job seekers how to improve their approaches.
