Job Search Tips for After Graduation

Think Strategically.  When you're applying for jobs after college, a big payday shouldn't be your first priority. If you're looking to build a career, the chance to develop your skills, experience, and professional network will be much more valuable.

Consider Volunteering.  If you're having trouble finding the right job, it might be a good idea to apply for volunteer opportunities. By volunteering, you can gain valuable skills and experience that set you apart from other candidates when applying to future jobs. Even if you can't afford to volunteer full-time, you may consider volunteering on the side while working a part-time job.

Think Outside the Box.  A lot of recent graduates pigeonhole themselves by only applying to jobs directly related to their major. It's important to keep in mind that career advancement doesn't always happen in a straight line. You may be able to develop your network or build your skill set by working in a related field, or even in a job completely unrelated to your major.

Be Socially Savvy.  Your online presence can help you make a strong first impression on employers. Take the time to polish your LinkedIn profile and showcase what makes you a strong candidate. At the same time, perform a health check on other social media profiles to make sure your public profile conveys the right impression.
