Does This Sound Like Your Students?
-
What am I going to do after I graduate?
-
I’ve spent all this money on my education – and I can’t get a job!
-
I’ve sent out 100 resumes and got nothing. What do I do next?
The student life might be a great adventure, but as students near graduation, they start to think seriously about the future — and what a scary future it is! Jobs are scarce, competition is high, and standing out above the rest seems impossible. Many students start facing the reality that after four (or more!) years of studying, they have no edge in the marketplace.
But there is another way.
I’m Joshua Waldman, best-selling author and self-confessed social media junkie. Through my live, interactive programs, I show students how to use social media to land their dream job. II empower students to get proactive in pursuing the job they really want instead of blindly sending out resume after resume, hoping for a response.
Why Hire Me to Speak at Your College?
The student crowd can be tough, but I guarantee by the end of my session you’ll have a room full of engaged, inspired students who are excited about their futures. Why? Because I can relate to your students. I’m not some professorial dude in a stiff suit (or sweater-vest!) standing on a podium. I’ve been in their shoes, hung out at the same parties, sat the same tests.
I’ve felt the same fear they feel. And I’ve been able to thrive in the job market thanks to my engagement with social media – and that’s exactly what I’ll teach them to do by weaving together storytelling, theory, current events and humor into a practical, step-by-step action plan.
I will pack your venue with students — and leave those students motivated to take action. As the event’s host, you’ll gain the positive reputation that comes from hosting successful events that put students on the fast-track to their career goals.

Other Schools Think I’m Cool
Don’t take my word for it – check out what past administrators and students have to say about my program.
I asked Joshua to present at Boston University Alumni Association, and wow did he ever deliver. Joshua’s one hour presentation was well-organized and full of useful tips on how to improve your LinkedIn profile. Our presentation was completely sold out at 165 registered participants, and the feedback from our alumni has been overwhelmingly positive. Thanks again Joshua for a fantastic presentation!
It was great of you to come to our Career Services Directors meeting at DeVry University earlier this month. I’m a social media “dummy” so it was great to get lay man’s information on the subject. Thanks for helping us change our paradigm about today’s job seeker!
Joshua’s personable nature as well as his great ability to teach, not just inform, was essential in our recent webinar for students. He made LinkedIn approachable for all, by engaging attendees with well-researched data, a creative tool, and a demonstration on how to use it. An excellent session with great learning for all.
Joshua’s presentation was entertaining, inspiring and enlightening. He covered the basics as well as touching on the psychology of marketing with these tools — the subtle nuances and strategies to consider.
I spent hours in research and attended a number of webinars and in-person seminars. By far the best presentation was Joshua’s. I learned so much, I would have liked to have gone through it again. That seminar was worth twice the price. I would highly recommend him as a speaker.
10 Ways Your Career Center Can Afford a National Speaker
If you think you can’t afford a speaker this year, you may be surprised. I’ve helped many schools navigate their budgets so they could afford to bring me in. For example, if you schedule me when I’m already in your area, you’ll save hundreds of dollars both on travel and on my special “regional tour fee.”
My passion is helping young people succeed in their chosen careers. I want to have as many students as possible hear what I have to say, so I’m happy to help you find a way for me to visit your college.
