Interview with Eva Baker: TeensGotSense

Eva Baker-14 ALTERED

 

Think you can’t create a cool new business when you are stuck listening to “borrrrrrinnng” shows on the radio?  Then you need to hear Eva Baker’s story!

On this Mom & Daughters Inc interview, Eva and I discussed how she launched her business, TeensGotSense.  It’s a unique concept that educates teens on financial topics like shopping, bartering with parents and finding a first job.   Eva started the business when she realized that there were no outlets that shared tips on financial literacy from a young person’s perspective.

If you are curious about starting a business, Eva also shares how she dealt with the unknown aspects of the startup. For example, listen to 6 min mark to hear her story about designing her first website.  She also shares some great tips about how to get help from friends and family.

Eva is launching a teen conference this June.  If you know any teens who want to be inspired, check out details in the link below.

3 Powerful Steps to Preparing Your Daughter for Life After College

career advice

Every year, a new crop of young women graduate from college.  Which is wonderful.
 
But some don’t have a career plan.  They start by revising their resumes and cover letters.  Practicing interviews.  Combing the internet for jobs.  Reaching out to friends or family for any leads.  
 
A recent study conducted by McGraw-Hill reveals that only 36 percent of women graduating college believe that they’re career ready. While 50 percent of men surveyed believe that they can conquer the job market.
It pains me to know that young women are graduating from college believe that they are truly not ready for the workforce.  And it pains me because this is a process that should have begun in their freshman year of college.

Yessssss #freshmanadvice  
 
But, I ain’t one to judge.  So anytime a former student or son/daughter of a friend reaches out, I help.  I worked for several years in HR/Career Development so I know a few things about the job search.  And I always remember those who helped me out and want to pay it forward.  
But there is a hard part of the discussion.  Editing the resume and coaching for the interview is easy.  It’s understanding how to set up a career plan for a recent college graduate that’s tough.  And it’s especially tough because you can’t return these young women back to college and “correct” a few things.
So here is a short list of ideas of how to help your daughter make the most of her college years.   This information is less the technical how-tos.  Anyone can teach you how to spell check your resume.  But if you have reviewed it ten times and are still not getting called, you need additional information.
Once the young women in our lives understand these principles, they’ll have a much easier time navigating the job search process.
