Transition Tuesday: Preview of Coming Attractions — Ramen Noodles, Rent and Resumes Author Kristen Fischer to Visit Biz Chicks Rule

Fellow Jersey girl, former client, and dear friend Kristen Fischer has agreed to an interview on women’s business blog Biz Chicks Rule during the month of May. Plus, Kristen’s going to be giving away copies of her new book to BCR readers. Here’s some info about it, and her, from a recent press release about an upcoming book signing she’s hosting in Point Pleasant, NJ, this June for those of a northern persuasion:

PT. PLEASANT, NEW JERSEY (April 30, 2008) – Jersey Shore native Kristen Fischer will be holding a book signing for her newest release, Ramen Noodles, Rent and Resumes: An After-College Guide to Life. The event will take place at Borders in Eatontown, NJ, on Wednesday June 11 at 7 p.m.

In Ramen Noodles, Rent and Resumes: An After-College Guide to Life, author Kristen Fischer encourages grads to embrace–instead of dread–life after college. Instead of the "quarterlife crisis", she introduces the concept of "The After-College" in which graduates learn to thrive during their 20s. Highlighting dozens of real-life graduates who have navigated their way through this challenging but exciting phase of life, Ramen Noodles, Rent and Resumes: An After-College Guide to Life is packed with valuable strategies for career advancement and personal growth.

The book helps recent graduates:

• Determine what career path will bring satisfaction
• Select a job hunting strategy that gets results
• Decide if graduate school will benefit their career
• Prioritize work responsibilities with personal commitments
• Cultivate better relationships with family and friends
• Organize a living plan-at home or on their own
• Manage their finances with the future in mind
• Overcome stress, anxiety or depression

"I look forward to meeting soon-to-be graduates and recent graduates-as well as their families," says Fischer, who resides in Pt. Pleasant, NJ. "Just by being aware of how hard life after college can be, it can be a great time for 20-somethings."
