Being good is not, good enough in your career. You need to be great at something. Anything, really, to stand out and fulfill the goals you have in your career.

Sadly, however, many 20Somethings spend too much time trying to be a Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World", jack-of-all-trades type of person. And that, my friends, is truly terrible.

You continue to put out resume after resume and cover letter after cover letter but nothing seems to be working in your favor. It sucks but you are not alone. Everyday thousands of 20Somethings put their name in a “job hat” and hope to come out with a job or at least an interview. So, how do you stand out from the crowd and give yourself a fighting chance to go from struggling to gainfully employed?
