Studying English is a smart career move – but you won’t learn that in school.
It’s common to feel frustrated, discouraged, or even depressed about your chances of a getting a job with an English degree. (Maybe it’s because even professors say, “If you want to get a job, don’t study English!”)
Getting the right advice about today’s job market from professors feels impossible. Almost all of them have focused their entire careers on higher ed. This means they don’t have a clue what it’s really like to search for a job in today’s market.
This isn’t to say these professors are bad or wrong; they’re just focused on a different type of job than you probably want. Because the truth is, only 3% of graduating PhDs will be hired as professors. (And usually, they get hired as low-paid adjuncts.)
Career counselors and professors give advice, but translating that into the real-world action can feel like a mystery.
As it turns out, your English major skills really are in high-demand – but you have to know how to use them.
Here are some statistics from the Bureau of labor statistics about English major job growth through 2026:
- Demand for writers and authors is increasing 8%
- Need for public relations specialists is growing 9%
- Advertising, promotions and marketing manager demand is increasing 10%, faster than average
- Market research analyst roles are growing 23%, MUCH faster than average
- Technical writer job growth is expected to be 11%, faster than average
There’s clearly demand for someone with your skill set. Companies will spend BILLIONS of dollars for talented, passionate people like you.
But you need these 3 things to find an awesome job.
In order for you to land a high-paying English major job after college, you need the following:
- Practical, real-world experience
- The ability to think like a potential employer
- Concrete examples of their skills
By learning these keys to job success, I was able to go from broke to earning a six-figure income in less than 18 months after graduation. Not bad, right?
My methods get an average 8 interviews for every 10 job applications.
Through trial and error – and applying a bit of persuasive psychology – I discovered the key to getting more interviews.
- It’s not your resume template. (In fact, my resume template is very plain by design).
- Nor is it sending out more job applications. (In fact, sending out FEWER applications yields better results.)
- And it’s not wasting time at job fairs. (I get an 80% interview rate when I apply, so why waste time when you could be doing something more effective?)
Does this work? Here’s a completely unsolicited reaction from someone who tried my method:
The best part is this information can be put to use TODAY.
Now, I’ve created a course to share my method so you can skip the mistakes and get to work.
English Major Jobs 101: How to Get a Job with Your English Degree is a step-by-step resource to help you use empathy to know EXACTLY what employers really want – and how to become the type of candidate they want to hire.

Immediately after your transaction completes, you’ll get access to the Member Library where you can access all of the files you’ve purchased and the free bonuses. You can return anytime to the Member Library and log in using the username/password created during your purchase.
What formats are included?
I’ve recently completely rebuilt the site using a modern learning management system. That means the course’s responsive contents will look great on any device – smartphone, tablet, desktop, or something in-between.
You’ll also get access to a downloadable PDF ebook that can easily be opened on almost any device (including tablets, smartphones, laptops, and e-readers). I also include instructions on how to create a Kindle-native format. You’re free to print a single copy for personal use. The bonuses are available as Google Docs, videos, and other file types that work on just about any platform.
What about updates?
Since career information changes quickly, I’ll update the course from time-to-time so the information is always relevant and useful. Just this year, I’ve completely overhauled the content to add or update thousands of words so you always have relevant, useful information.
Why is this so expensive?
I understand you’re a college student, and you don’t have a lot of extra cash. The information in this course took me years to learn, compile, and write. This same info has easily earned me an additional $20,000-$60,000 per year since graduating in 2014.
Charging just $24 – less than the average textbook – is an accessible price for the English major who’s serious about their future. (But there’s no shame in running this by a parent…)
As a bonus to help this guide pay for itself ASAP, I’ve included information on how to start freelancing now, while you’re a student.
What payment options do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards through Stripe encrypted payments and PayPal.
How does the money back guarantee work?
Read the course content and put its principles into action. (You’ll never know if it works until you try it.) Then, if you’re not fully satisfied, use the contact page to contact me, and I’ll send you a speedy refund. It’s that easy.
