The Grad Truth - Degree ≠ Experience
About us
At The Grad Truth, we are dedicated to addressing the critical challenges faced by recent graduates as they transition from education to employment. Despite investing significant time and money into their education, many graduates struggle to secure meaningful employment due to unrealistic job experience requirements and the financial burden of additional licensing.
About The Grad Truth
Welcome to The Graduate Truth. I am Sheena, a passionate advocate for graduate empowerment and career development.
Like many of you, I have experienced firsthand the challenges that come with transitioning from higher education to the professional world. After completing my MBA in Finance, I found myself facing an unexpected reality: a job market that seemed impenetrable without years of experience and a maze of licensing requirements I had not anticipated.
This platform was born out of my personal struggles and those of countless friends and colleagues. Despite our advanced degrees – some even holding doctorates – we found ourselves caught in a frustrating cycle:
- Unable to secure jobs in our fields of study
- Facing roles that undervalued our education and skills
- Confronting the need for additional licenses and certifications
- Grappling with the financial burden of student loans
I realized that these issues were not isolated incidents but systemic challenges affecting graduates across various disciplines.
Through this platform, I aim to:
- Raise awareness about the hurdles graduates face in today's job market
- Provide a platform for sharing experiences and advice
- Offer resources and strategies for navigating post-graduation challenges
- Foster a community of support among fellow graduates
- Advocate for changes in how businesses, educational institutions, and policymakers approach graduate employment
My Vision:
I envision a world where the transition from education to meaningful employment is smoother and more equitable, where graduates can leverage their hard-earned knowledge to make real impacts in their fields without being held back by unrealistic experience requirements or financial constraints.
