Synopsis

Twenty-something author Lara Zielin provides a fresh writing style and perspective based on her own experience. A reliable guide with important details on why people network, where to network, and how to overcome the fear of networking, this book shows teens how to broaden their horizons and confidently set a positive course for the future.
Packed with valuable information on internships, job shadowing, and volunteer work, Make Things Happen also provides key definitions and challenging exercises. Zielin uses creative ways to highlight information to make it accessible to young adult readers: "Case in Point" boxes include inspirational true stories about people who have achieved success through networking; "Ain't It a Fact" calls out an important fact or idea from the chapter that is being read; and "Picking the Expert's Brain" suggests other ways to find more information.
