Difficult Job Market: Hip-Hop Music to the Rescue
Hip-Hop Artist and Professor Work Together to Bring Fresh Approach to Getting a Job
New York, NY-December 1, 2011 – Hip-hop artist Timid has created a unique and encouraging music video in conjunction with the critically acclaimed book, The Secret to Getting A Job after College: Marketing Tactics to Turn Degrees into Dollars, from Pace University professor and branding expert Dr. Larry Chiagouris.
In the video, I Want The Secret, Timid addresses the dire situation college students and recent graduates face everyday. Rising tuition costs, mounting debt and a bleak job market await their future.
The message is clear in Timid’s lyrics and in the book: Know your value and do not be afraid to stand apart from the majority. It is your individuality–your unique perspective and your specific skills that you will share with the world that will bring you the greatest success.
I Want the Secret is an anthem: a battle cry for students to follow their dreams and to not give up in the face of adversity. The lyrics reflect the challenges graduates confront when seeking to make a difference in the world.
