One Trick Pony

Everybody loves a one-trick pony. What’s not to love? I mean, horses are great, baby horses are even better, and one that can perform tricks for me? Sign me up for some of that action. But believe me, you don’t want to be a one-trick pony when it comes to the job market. Because here’s the thing about one-trick ponies: they, uh, only do one trick. It’s right there in the name. Likewise, a diploma alone won’t get you very far.

Look, prospective employers don’t just want to see a college degree on your resume because they see hundreds of those everyday. The key is find extra-curricular ventures that other applicants wouldn’t ever think to try and that companies with open positions would love to see.

That’s where CollegeStockPicks.com comes in, the perfect place to ask questions, gain knowledge, share insight, and even become published to a substantial audience of people who are ready to learn from you. And it’s not just resume fodder: CSP provides exactly the kind of contemporary observation you need to succeed in the financial world. There’s nothing to lose, so why not take a shot at shoving a few more tricks up that sleeve of yours? And of course, my apologies to all the one-trick ponies out there. I’m looking at you, Baha Men.
