The Career Support Your Student Won't Get on Campus

A four-year degree is a major investment. Parents or students typically spend well over $180,000 on tuition, housing, books, and fees. Many will spend much more. Second Step helps ensure a strong return on that investment. More importantly, Second Step creates a lasting foundation for success!

Simply put. We are the missing link your student needs to deploy a world-class job search strategy.

How We Help

Interview Coaching

Your student may have just 3 minutes to make a first impression in a 15-minute screening interview.

Thereafter, they need to answer questions in a clear, crisp manner that is quantitatively supported.

The Second Step team teaches a framework that ensures your student answers questions clearly and concisely.

Search Strategy

Every student's search begins with hustle. Those who succeed apply strategy to that hustle.

A solid strategy includes who to approach, how to approach them, and how to stand out from the crowd.

The Second Step team will create a strategy that gets your student noticed. It starts with LinkedIn and goes a whole lot further.

Story Telling

It can be hard for students to tell their own story; especially in a way that appeals to hiring managers.

There is an art to building strong responses that are authentic and highlight successes.

The Second Step team will develop a Q&A framework for your student. We will role play with your student to ensure their answers shine..

Networking

The Second Step network can help your student with coaching, recommendations, and referrals.

Is your student is interested in Finance? Imagine a 1:1 coaching session with an SVP from a major institution.

The Network can propel your student forward, but access to the Network is earned. Your student has to do the work to get the meeting.

Second Step Network

The Second Step Network includes industry professionals who can provide industry-specific coaching. We deliver meetings with senior executives in industries like Consumer Goods, Finance, Real Estate, Software, and more. They will offer your student invaluable advice and guidance. And if your student impresses them, they may open up their networks to help your student. Access like this is earned, not promised.

Dream Jobs & Interships

Second Step collegiate candidates earned paid internships and got jobs with great companies this year. Examples include Charles Schwab, Gartner, KPMG, Verkada, and more.
