Dr. Judy the book adversity advantage. Joins me via skype. Dr. Berk thanks for being with us. What do grads need to understand about entering the real world . Do they have unrevoke expectation. I think often kids do. The first step is to manage yourself, your emotions. However you react under stress, once you get out and start looking for jobs and if the jobs arent coming in, your stress level will go up. But that anxiety and stress can make it more difficult for you to get that job that you want. Start somewhere. Maybe you wont get your dream job and a lot are comparing themselves against one another on social media which graduate school theyre getting into, job theyre getting, what company, what are their salaries . And this increases everyones anxiety, so might be a time to take a break from social media. And to really use this time to manage yourself to be patient, and to take a job offered to you and be willing to work your way up. Because so much of career success has to do with luck and being in the right position at the right time. You cant see that coming. Thats what im glad you mentioned social media because i was going to say seems to me when we were coming up, there wasnt this much pressure, obviously you want to do get your first job but you werent comparing yourself tour people.

You know, once you get that career job, youre dealing with eventually becoming a supervisor and supervising and firing and maybe leading mergers and transitions. This is just the beginning. If they can look at things that way, they can use this time, at fruitful time, and a time where, it would be great if, you know, they were journalling, talking to a counselor and listening to people who have made their way into the workplace and had some success, and listened to the advice theyre being given.
