Moorhead, MN (WDAY TV) – A man known as “America’s Job Search Guru” says you can get any job with any major.

Donald Asher spoke at MSUM tonight with some job-searching tips for college students and graduates.

Fifty-percent of recent college graduates are taking jobs that do not require a college degree.

Asher says part of the problem is that young people tend to hide behind their computers.

Donald Asher, Job Search Guru: “I’m trying to teach them to use social media not to interact with computers, but to interact with people. Find them and actually get out of their apartment, get out of their closeted life, and go meet people for coffee, and go meet people for lunch. You get jobs by talking to people, not by applying for them.”

Asher is the author of 12 books.
