As a board member for company, I get asked this question a LOT. In fact, the company annual conference is coming up quickly and I would expect that a healthy percentage of the nearly 3,000 participants have this question on their mind too. 

When we met at Harvard, you made the point that a lot of the information in my book is applicable beyond the corporate responsibility field - which I considered high praise! This answer will also have broader APPLICATION for new graduates looking for jobs. Consider the steps below as guidelines to KEEP in mind before starting a job search in any field. As the father of two young adults, I can SYMPATHIZE with the struggles that young people face in landing a job these days, much less the ideal job that aligns with your values and offers you the OPPORTUNITY to make a difference.
