| This could be what your savings looks like after a little financial bootcamp. |
We
all know that the post-graduate life isn’t full of luxury. Yes,
most of us are working, but not utilizing our degree in our desired
field. After you've utilized our digital coupon suggestions, there's another way to stay money savvy. American Express, in partnership with LearnVest.com and Crowdtap,
has worked to develop two free online resources to help
twenty-somethings manage the money we do have and help with our
transition from school to work.
The
first financial boot camp you can sign up for is called, “Take
Control.” You look at the current state of your finances, including your
budget, earnings and spending patterns. This boot camp will teach you
to earn more, spend better and get what you want from your money. It
also includes information on your credit score, net worth and personal
financial goals you wish to reach.
The
second boot camp is “Build Your Career,” which teaches you how to
succeed at work, managing good and bad times, communicating effectively
and keeping your image and networking skills polished. You’ll also learn
how to negotiate a salary when you are offered a position.
According
to the American Express survey, twenty-somethings tend to overvaule
experience and devalue personality in the hiring process. In partnership
with CrowdTap.com they have set up a social platform for
twenty-somethings to share their opinions and concerns about their
personal finance so they can gain more confidence in job hunting.
