This document discusses ideas for helping a young, ambitious female student find a job that fits her interests and skills. The most practical idea is to hold a student workshop where she can exchange ideas about different jobs, learn where to find openings, and discuss what to expect after university. The most disruptive idea is to create an improved job search homepage that includes explanatory videos and a psychological test to filter listings by interests and personality. The favorite idea is to get a mentor already working in her desired field who can offer advice on transitioning from school to a career, including potential connections to companies.
