Job Questions > What advice do you have for someone looking for their first job out of college

Be confident and persevere

Take your time, research companys in your field. Take a course in writing resume's, or have it professionally written, purchase at least two interviewing outfits and rehearse asking open ended questions.

Take a course in resume writing or have it done professionally, dress appropriately for the interview, research the company, learn to ask open ended questions.

Be selective.

There is no substitute for perseverance and hard work. It is tough out there, but hard work and determination do pay off. Use your network to the best of your ability and keep a positive attitude. Determination will always pay off. Good Luck and let me know if I can help you in any way.

Honestly, if someone has attended college without working first, they will have no idea what they want to do. So my advice is to get a few jobs, figure out what you really want as a career, and then go back to college for that!

You may become interested in field for which you did not study!! Remain open to all possibilities.
(Also, if you are frustrated because employment is not forthcoming, be willing to try alternatives).

good luck
