Job Search Tips for After Graduation

Think Carefully About the Future.  When you enter the workforce after graduation, you shouldn't be focused on chasing a big paycheck. Instead, you should be focused on building your skills, experience, and network. Measure opportunities by what they'll offer for your future, rather than only what they offer right now.

Be Open to the Unconventional.  Career advancement isn't always linear. Sometimes, heading in an unexpected direction can allow you to develop the abilities or make the connections that you need for your career. So don't feel like you need to box yourself in by only pursuing jobs directly related to your degree.

Consider Short-Term or Part-Time Work.  Struggling to find a good fit in a full-time role? In that case, it might be worth looking for short-term or part-time work. While these options might not be your first choice, they can help you develop the qualifications you need to land bigger jobs.

Avoid Comparing Yourself to Peers.  If your friend or peers are landing jobs out of college quickly, it's easy to get discouraged. But it's important to remember that different fields advance at different rates. What's more, your first job out of college is no guarantee of how your career will ultimately develop!
