Getting hired right out of college is becoming tougher and
tougher. Studies show that over half of recent college graduates are unemployed
or underemployed. Many college graduates think getting a job out of college is
all about your major and GPA; however, there are many other factors involved in
getting a job fresh out of college.
Make sure you develop skills you won’t necessarily learn in
the classroom. Employers are looking for graduates who are self-motivated, able
to work in a team, and are willing to take risks. These skills can be learned
through extracurricular activities and internships, so take advantage of these
opportunities.
Don’t necessarily look for your dream job. Keep an open mind
to all job opportunities and focus on what can get you to your dream job. It is
not often that a fresh college graduate with limited experience will get the “perfect”
position, you have to pay your dues and show employers you can the job. If you
go for these stepping stone jobs, you will have a better chance of landing one,
and still be on track to achieving your career goals.
