Announcement:
I have started a new blog at that is focused on Personal and Career Development for Young Professionals. It can be found at www.MarcosSalazar.com. As
opposed to straight out career blogs that cover resumes, the job
search, or interviewing skills, I will taking a psychology approach to
not only these parts of your career but also will be covering the
personal, social, and workforce challenges that college graduates and
young professionals are facing in the 21st century. As I did in The
Turbulent Twenties Survival Guide, I utilize a psychological approach
to covering these topics and will be integrating important research
within real life situations to provide practical advice for people's
personal and professional development (if you have read The Turbulent
Twenties Survival Guide you know what I mean).
Some of the topics I
will be covering are:
- learning how to find and follow what you love doing
- practical steps on how to get into Flow at work
- understanding the psychology of happiness and affective forecasting
- managing the tyranny of choice
- learning how to cultivate your emotional and cultural intelligence
- networking in the internet age
- learning how to brand yourself professionally
- discovering how to use blogging as a professional tool (it is the new resume of our generation)
- how to become more of an entrepreneur
- using social-networking for professional advancement
- getting over post-college depression
- helping to answer all those questions that we work through during our 20s and 30s such as: Who am I? Who do I want to become? Where am I going? What are my passions in life? Am I making the right decisions?
So I hope you take a look at the site, subscribe, and share it with friends.
Take care!

You’ve graduated from college. Now what?
It’s a question that everyone in your position has to answer. But as soon as you ask it, that one question can lead to countless others: Who am I? Where am I going? What are my passions in life? Am I making the right decisions? Why is it so difficult to meet people? Will I ever find a job that I love? Will I ever truly be happy? And once you think you’ve found the answers, you still have to do—something.
Your academic education has prepared you for practical tasks like finding a job or a place to live, but many of the challenges you’ll face after college require a different set of skills that are psychological in nature. This book can help you develop these skills by putting the most cutting-edge psychological research at your fingertips to help you overcome the obstacles you’ll face throughout this trying and exciting time in your life.
The Turbulent Twenties Survival Guide is your roadmap to:
· Developing the independence and self-reliance to accomplish your goals
· Coping with uncertainty, doubt, and postcollege depression
· Managing today’s overwhelming number of choices
· Cultivating the emotional intelligence to make it in today’s economy
· Exploring ways to build a supportive community of friends and loved ones
