One of the best parts about college is the access you get to top experts (professors). You may not realize it, but there’s a good chance that the woman who is teaching you Econ 101 knows more about a given topic in Economics than anyone in the world. Whether that topic interests you or not is another matter, but just think how much you could learn from your professors beyond what they’re teaching you in class. Ok, so you’d often rather be sleeping/drinking/Facebooking/xBoxing/whatevering than going to class or stopping in for chats during office hours, but that will change – it will change right about the time that you graduate and no longer have access to professors. That’s why the The Learning Annex is a wildly successful business. They call themselves “the premier producer of seminars, lectures, classes and workshops throughout the United States and Canada,” and they back that up by hiring “teachers” like Donald Trump, Larry King, Jerry Lewis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Henry Kissinger, Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Barbara Bush, P. Diddy, Sylvia Browne and James Van Praagh. It’s access to experts for the after college crowd, and it’s resulted in $102 million in yearly revenue (794.1% 3-year growth). Since we also want to make $102 million a year, we’re considering putting together an online job search training course based on the One Day, One Job method (of course we have a method, how do you think we keep finding all of these awesome jobs), but we want to gauge interest first. If that’s something that you’d be interested in (and you’d like a discount), shoot me an e-mail at Willy@onedayonejob.com.

Keep on Learning

With that 794.1% revenue growth, The Learning Annex is expanding fast, and that means adding to the 114 employees that they already have. They’re always hiring expert speakers, but since most college kids haven’t developed enough expertise to teach classes yet, those probably aren’t the types of jobs that you’re going to be interested in. You may, however, be interested in the other jobs that The Learning Annex is hiring for. They don’t have a Jobs page, but they do list job opportunities (just the titles though) on their Contact page. They’re looking for Web Designers, Web Programmers, Content Managers, and Online Media Buyers, presumably in their New York City office . All of these positions could very well be considered entry level by their titles, so it’s worth sending a resume and cover letter to jobs@learningannex.com to apply. They’re hiring on both a permanent and a freelance basis, so there’s definitely some flexibility there. If you really want to stand out, you can send a note to The Learning Annex’s CEO Bill Zanker at WilliamZ@learningannex.com to tell him why you’re a perfect fit for a job with The Learning Annex. Make sure that you read this article about him from Inc. Magazine first, and also be sure to have taken a look at all of The Learning Annex’s class and seminar offerings.
