WILMINGTON, Del., March 01, 2017 -- While it’s no secret that financial success begins with career success, navigating the path to a meaningful career can seem daunting for those starting out and pros alike. To help, Navient today launched The Career Playbook—a YouTube-based video series—in partnership with renowned career expert and author James M. Citrin.

The video series enables aspiring professionals of all ages to jumpstart and manage their careers with timely advice on topics such as mastering interviews, building a network, negotiating salaries, cultivating mentors and designing a persuasive LinkedIn presence.

“Knowing what to look for and how to actually land a great job are exceptionally challenging when you’re trying to get an interview, make enough money, and position yourself for advancement,” says Citrin, head of Spencer Stuart's North American CEO Practice and author of seven books. “I am pleased to partner with Navient to provide its millions of customers with actionable and market-tested strategies for maximizing professional success and personal satisfaction."

The Career Playbook video series also offers insights from experts at top companies and colleges, including Johnson & Johnson, Dropbox, Dartmouth College, and Indiana University.

“Jim Citrin clearly lays out the tradeoffs you face in any career, with a concrete roadmap for how to navigate them on your path to success,” says Laszlo Bock, former senior vice president of people operations at Google.
