Those looking for a way to help a recent college grad jumpstart their career now have a way to make a real impact on their loved one's life. Vertical Media Solutions (VMS), a nationwide leader in career preparation services and coaching, has developed a line of gift packages that gives grads that extra real-life education that they weren't provided in school. Statistically, data shows that recent college grads are having a tough time making that all-important transition. As of May, 13.8 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds were not employed.

Even more challenging, only 5 percent of all job openings are targeted at new college graduates.

A new resume writing guide aimed at those seeking internal promotions is now available from Vertical Media Solutions, a nationwide leader in resume writing and career coaching.

That's why Vertical Media Solutions, a nationwide leader in resume writing, has crafted a guide aimed specifically at this segment of the workforce.
