      Should You Still Apply? You worked hard in college, and now you’re looking for a great job. But everything you apply for lists two to three years of “real world” experience. This is a problem grads across the nation are dealing with. Some companies ask for a four-year degree and three years of experience for an entry-level, which can seem impossible. However, if you dig into your college accomplishments, you can find exactly what they’re looking for. Here are a few things to focus on in your resume.

    • Are You Being Taken Advantage of in an Unpaid Internship?

      If so, it’s time to act. It’s hard to believe it’s back-to-school season already. Summer break has come to an end as college students across the country move back to their dorms or apartments. Many of these students will take up an unpaid internship during their spare time. These positions can be a great way to get on-the-job training and experience.

Look for these warning signs. Your Manager Isn’t Interested in Changing You sit down with your manager and make your concerns known.

    • Answering the Interview Question: Do You Like to Take Charge of Projects and Situations or Would You Rather Receive Direction?

      Is this a trick question? This is one of those questions interviewers ask that can really stump job applicants if they aren’t prepared. It can seem like there has to be a right answer, that you have to choose taking charge or receiving direction. However, there’s plenty of room for personalized answers that relate to you specifically. Not sure how to start crafting your reply? We’ve got you covered. Be Honest Interviewers aren’t trying to trick you. If you like taking the lead and being a go-getter, tell them that! However, it’s perfectly fine if you would rather stay in the back and support the rest of the team. This question pops up so managers know what you’ll be like to work with if you get the job. The only wrong answers are those that are unclear or make it seem like you don’t like working at all. Choose Your Words Carefully If you aren’t a take-charge kind of worker, instead of saying that you “really don’t like to be …
