Job Search Tips for College Graduates

Focus on Career Development.  When you're looking for your first job after graduation, try to focus on developing your career rather than landing a big short-term payday. Your main priorities should be learning new skills, gaining on-the-job experience, and forging new connections for your professional network.

Look for Unconventional Opportunities.  A lot of college graduates box themselves in by only applying to jobs that are directly related to their degree. Depending on your field, there may be other jobs where you can build the skills, experience, and connections you need.

Consider Part-Time & Short-Term Roles.  Sometimes, the best way to start a career is through part-time work or short-term contracts. This might not be your first choice, but if you're struggling to land a full-time position, these kinds of jobs can make you a stronger candidate for future opportunities.

Don't Get Easily Discouraged.  After you've just graduated from college, your first job can feel like a make-or-break deal. The reality is, your first job out of college can be helpful, but it won't define your career trajectory. If it takes a little longer than expected to work your way up the ladder, that's okay!
