Answers from Veronica
What advice do you have for someone looking for their first job out of college?
Take the time to clearly establish the reasons why you chose the field that you did. Write them down. Figure out your short, medium and long term goals. Write those down as well. This will keep you from loosing track of your goals once you've begun to establish yourself in your field.
Also, don't be afraid to start at the bottom. Proving yourself to any given company will increase the stock that an employer will put on you. You'll earn their trust, and they'll always know that once you rise in their ranks, you'll be able to properly manage those under you, after all, you've been there as well!!...
