About the Author

Carol Christen is a career strategist who has worked extensively with teenagers and young adults. She strongly feels that, in a country with few social safety nets, helping youth discover and attain qualifications for well-paying, challenging jobs with advancement opportunities is an issue of social justice. Experience has taught her that the ability to get the best job in any job market is a survival skill that every young adult needs to know.
