Armed with Persistence: The Business Plan

By LaTasha Brize

Book Overview

Deciding on a college major can seem difficult, but when you've earned your degree and are trying to find the right job, you face an additional challenge-the job also has to choose you. In her self-help guide Armed with Persistence, LaTasha Brize recounts her own story of struggling to complete her bachelor's degree only to find that she can't find employment in her chosen field-health care-because she doesn't have enough work history or on-the-job training. After relocating to a bigger city, she eventually lands a job as an externship coordinator for a technical trade school-giving students the boost she needed when she was in their shoes. Written in a memoir style, this insightful book also lays out the business plan that helped Brize start her own health care staffing agency. Learn from one who knows: when the job market or employers refuse to grant you the opportunities you need-don't give up. Sometimes you simply have to get a foot in the door, and sometimes you have to forge your own path. Either way, your best bet is to be armed with persistence.
