Job Generation

With more than 23 million Americans looking for work, job generation is a priority for restoring the American economy. Yet many of the unemployed and underemployed are not looking for just any job, but the right job, one that will complement their skill sets and desires. The right choice for many is working alongside innovative entrepreneurs who are playing a major role in changing today's business climate. Steven R. Musick, owner of the decades old company Destiny Capital and a Professor at the University of Denver, believes the key to job generation is tapping into America's exceptional entrepreneurial spirit fueled by hundreds of thousands of young, creative people. But once they have found their Big Idea, many creative minds often find themselves a loss for how to make it take seed, find capital to expand, distinguish themselves in the marketplace from their competitors along with a myriad of other issues that face an entrepreneur. At the same time, with millions on the job market, how do potential employees stand out during an interview, knowing the right questions to ask to separate themselves from the sea of other candidates?Professor Musick has the answers in this informative, challenging book, a key component of his entrepreneurial class. This book is full of real life examples of model companies whose time-tested management techniques and forward thinking processes have made themselves leaders in their industries, always ahead of their competitors with new ideas that allow their companies to grow, adding jobs to the American economy. Life lessons are also here for job seekers, with stories from workers whose thought provoking interviews have allowed them to clinch the job, letting their unique skills become integral components which have helped propel their chosen companies to the top of their sectors. With this book, Professor Musick shows that job generation, the way to keep America on a steady path of growth, can be achieved by those with the right entrepreneurial spirit and the skills to keep the economy humming. How will America get back on the right track? Job generation is the answer.
