Amdur to speak to seniors at Ramapo College: "I have a job, now what?"

Mahwah, NJ - (April 8, 2008) - Eli Amdur  will talk to seniors at Ramapo College about what to expect in the workplace. "Now that you have your first job lined up (hopefully), what's it going to be like? In fact, what's you career and your whole life going to be like"

"These are questions," according to Amdur, "that college students typically don't think about."

"It's always a dramatic change," says Amdur, a career coach, national columnist, corporate consultant, and graduate adjunct professor. "But it doesn't have to be a shock. Congratulations to Ramapo College for getting it and for doing this for their soon-to-be-graduates."
