First of all, a HUGE congratulations to Jenny Blake on the official launch of her book, Life After College: The Complete Guide to Getting What You Want. If you haven’t already watched my video about how excited I am, I suggest you mozy on over to my YouTube page and take a look. Or, you can read the entire in-depth post I wrote about how fabulous this book and its author are.
Just to jog your memory here is an abridged version.
10 Reasons to Check Out Life After College: The Complete Guide to Getting What You Want
1. This book will change your life. Period. Point Blank.
2. It literally covers every aspect of post grad life, from money and career to relationships and relaxation.
3. Jenny Blake doesn’t tell you what to do. Instead, she has inserted helpful exercises in the book to help YOU figure out what you want out of life and then plan for it.
4. It is because of Jenny Blake’s blog that I started getting my shit together and consequently started sharing my journey through this blog.
5. She’s not pushing for sales or for something else to add to her already impressive resume. SHE ACTUALLY CARES.
6. She doesn’t claim to be super human or to have all the answers, instead she bares her soul and her experiences in order to help others.
7. She’s a certified life coach and a career coach for Google. Homegirl knows what she’s talking about.
8. She really speaks out to our generation.
9. She turned an unorganized, emotional, overwhelmed person into an organized person working toward tangible goals. AKA: Me.
10. She will be hosting an awesome webinar at Brazen Careerist this Tuesday entitled Your Career in the Age of the App. I, of course, will be in attendance as soon as I get home from work.

What goals would you like to accomplish with the help of this book?
I am a college student for the second. I graduated in 2007 with a degree in English Literature. I later regreted choosing a degree with such low marketability, particularly in the part of the country where I live. I am now a college student again working and training to become a nurse. However, I still feel lost about where I want to live, what I want to do (speciality), and really how I want to live the rest of my life. I also worry frequently about paying off all my student loans. I hope that this book will help me have a clearer idea of my path in life.
I’m so excited about this book!! I can’t wait to read her tips on money and finances!
Thanks for the opportunity!
Jenn
I have to agree! I follow Jenny Blake on twitter, and had an amazing #genychat with her last night! Her energy and drive are inspirational and motivating. I’m a little behind and haven’t picked up her book yet. I’m just determined to be as minimal as possible while I pack up my many-a-books in prep to move to a new house soon…which is in the works!
I forgot to answer the question….silly me.
Hmm…what goals would I like to accomplish with the help of this book??
Well, currently my office is in utter disarray. Personal organization is something that Jenny is really passionate about, and I would like to learn about her techniques of not just getting organized, but staying that way for the long haul.
Awesome giveaway! I’d love to learn more about her experiences as a certified life coach and learn about more financial info! Thanks!
