This week I am joined by Alex McKercher. Alex is the Founder of Career Pursuit. His vision is to see Millennials and Gen Z find purpose and financial prosperity through rewarding careers, ultimately enabling them to lead fulfilling lives and make a meaningful impact on the world. Career Pursuit does this by equipping its clients with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to navigate today's job market successfully, leading to a rewarding career.
In our conversation, Alex shares his views on:
-
The overall job outlook for current students and recent grads.
-
How job applicants need to present themselves to land a job (which also works for scholarships, as well!).
-
The careers and college majors that will be in demand over the next 5-10 years.
-
Why going to college to “find your passion” is no longer practical.
To connect with this week's guest, Alex McKercher from Career Pursuit, go to CareerPursuit.net or on LinkedIn.
Alex stressed the importance of knowing your passion and career path. If your student is unsure of their path, check out the fantastic programs offered by Flourish Coaching. Having college major and career clarity will not only help with college admissions and future job prospects, but it’s also a key part of scholarship success. Go to FlourishCoachinCo.com/NoDebtMajors to learn more.

Scholarship GPS is my new online, on-demand, video-based course where I share my insights on how to find and earn scholarships. Each lesson is designed to be short, typically between three and ten minutes. This unique ‘bite-sized’ learning model is tailored to fit into your busy schedule, empowering you to learn at your own pace.
As a Your Daily Scholarship subscriber, you can get access to the course before the general public.
It's important to note that the course is a work in progress. While there are still lessons to be added, over 20 lessons are already uploaded and ready for viewing, and new lessons will be added regularly. This allows you to hit the ground running while new lessons are being prepared and added regularly.
One of the things that makes Scholarship GPS unique is the BONUS LESSONS included in the course. I know scholarships, but I don’t know college admissions, test prep, or other things related to college prep. But I do know professionals with expertise in those things. These trusted professionals have lessons INCLUDED in the course—a kind of high-level “101” introduction to their area of expertise.
As a thank you for your support, you can access the course at a heavily discounted pre-launch rate! You can sign up for LIFETIME ACCESS to the Scholarship GPS course for only $47! Simply use coupon code JULY2024 at checkout. Click here to sign up!
Remember, this special offer is ONLY for Your Daily Scholarship subscribers and is being offered at this discounted rate because the course is still a work in progress. But while I build out the rest of the course, you can start on your scholarship journey today! Don’t delay; coupon code JULY2024 expires on July 31, 2024.
