You don't know how to find
a job--but college teaches you how to learn. You may have learned English (or
math, or civil engineering)--but you have to do the work of equipping yourself
with the skills and methods of finding a job. The link above explains what you'll need to learn.
One thing you'll need these
days is a solid LinkedIn profile. Think about your LinkedIn profile as you
would think about a handshake. You don't
want to leave an interviewer with the impression that you are a sweaty, wet,
limp fish, do you? Just so, your LinkedIn profile should have some substance
behind it!
And if your LinkedIn
profile is your handshake, then your resume is your shoes--are they shined? in
good repair? appropriate for the situation (wingtips or pumps, rather than neon
pee-yellow sneakers)? Here's a great link suggesting stuff you can put on your
resume. No, it's not about "action words" or using keywords from
advertisements (although I've written about those elsewhere). Rather, it's got
some innovative thoughts on updating your resume for the digital hiring era.
