One of the most generous marketing guys I know is Drew McLellan. Several months ago, he asked a bunch of his marketing blogger buddies to contribute a little career advice to a new ebook he was compiling targeted to new college grads.

Since I’ve enjoyed the complete undergraduate college experience - community college, big-name private university, and public big-name university "night school" - I felt extraordinarily qualified to contribute :=)

Here’s an excerpt from my page:

"Recognize when opportunity is biting you on the tushy and be not afraid. You can always get a job doing something, but some opportunities won’t wait for you."

There are nearly 50 more pages, hundreds of great tips, spot-on advice and good wishes to be found in Giving College Grads a Fighting Chance: Insights from the Other Side and you can download yours in two versions: Picture-filled or Text-Only.

Here’s the complete list of the great marketing minds who just couldn’t say no to Drew:
