Chris,
Thanks so much for pointing people to the Fighting Chance e-book. So many people offered so much advice that it’s wonderful to get it out there for this year’s graduates!

Chris Brown, thanks for your helpful tips for College Graduates. I just posted a free e-book on branding that can help. The title is: Personal Branding For First Class professionals
Each person can download a free copy at http://www.yinkaolaito.com
Drew:
I love what you did for graduates and am so happy to be able to link to that ebook!
Thanks!
Chris
Hi Yinka:
I tried to download the book but couldn’t get the link to work. Can you double check your widget programming in the side bar? I know with my blog, you have to handkey stroke in a lot of the link stuff… Would love to have a live link to help my readers.
Sorry your comment wasn’t posted right away in my blog. I have it set up to put any links in comments into potential spam. I’m sure you understand!
Thanks so much,
Chris Brown
Ok. You can use this link : http://yinkaolaito.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/personal-branding-for-first-class-professionals.pdf
I have looked at many sites and not come across such a site as yours that tells everyone everything they need to know. I have added you to my bookmarks, can anyone else suggest other related topics that I can search for to find out more infomation?
For finding information about branding and marketing I would suggest my blog roll of links: http://brandandmarket.com/resourceslinks/
But specifically for job hunting advice, I also write a blog called “Real Women — Real Careers” designed to specifically to help women with transitions into their career from college or when they re-enter the workforce: http://www.realcareers.blogspot.com
Good luck!!
