Four Tips for College Graduates

Soon-to-be college graduates in a questionable economy can take
some simple steps to improve their chances on getting hired:

1.  Network in Person
Write down on a piece of paper relatives, friends and anyone you
know that is in a profession you admire.  Don’t be afraid to ask for a
meeting and then for their advice.  They will be flattered and will want
to help you.  Social networking may have been something you did
online but work is done in person.  Create relationships.  

2.  Use Online Networking to Meet Alumni
Alumni feel linked to new graduates and remember their plight.  
Myworkster.com is a good site to connect with alumni from your
college.  Or try Linkedln.  

3.  Think Outside Your Major
Healthcare, education and insurance are growing markets.  Does
your major enable you to be a support service in these industries.  
Hospital systems need marketing, security, and finance employees.

4.  Make Your Resume Reflect Accomplishments Not Just Skills
You didn’t just learn how to create a marketing plan.  You
implemented a marketing plan that resulted in 4500 products being
sold.  Start now!
