Preparing For Life After College News Channel 8 Let’s Talk Live David Porter

May 8, 2015 James Allene

How to Prepare for Life After Graduation

Tips on what you need to do during your last year of college to get ready for your next endeavor (whether it is grad school, a job, etc.)

Consultant David Porter says, in order to make the best of your last year of college, students need to build relationships that will lead to job opportunities and to learn skills that will form the foundation for a rich professional and personal life ahead.

Porter explains why students need to excel both academically and socially during their last year of college, in order to prepare for careers and/or grad school and life ahead.

• How the campus is crucial to forming a strong social and cultural experience that can help students mature and prepare them for their next endeavor.

• How campus social areas allow students to form relationships that can advance their future careers.

• How the new generation of campus social spaces teach students the social and emotional skills necessary to excel in careers and/or grad School.

Relevant quotes from Dave’s Book

“Every career counselor I have ever encountered has said that networking and building meaningful personal and professional relationships is essential to building professional success.” College can jump-start this dramatically!

“The classroom outside the classroom is a social interaction incubator that facilitates and nurtures individual students to learn about time management, problem solving, and how to interact with other people. It’s about learning how to socially navigate situations, maybe ones that even make you uncomfortable.”

Students need to find a balance between Facebook and their smart phones in order to make meaningful relations that will lead to career opportunities ahead. In the college campus arena, they are “Given the opportunity to connect is a socially rich, face-to-ace environment, students will choose to lean into their conversations with one another instead of emerging themselves in their smartphones.”
