We have now covered the six steps to finding your first ‘real’ job after school and a brief overview has been provided of each. They are:

  1. Preparation
  2. Networking
  3. Finding an Opening
  4. Application (Resume and Cover Letter)
  5. Interview
  6. Offer/Acceptance

So what happens now? Even though basic information has been provided about how to go about finding a job, I will drill down in each step even further over the coming months to provide information that will help you to find and compete for the jobs that you want.

On the left side of the page you will see the major categories that roughly correlate to the 6 steps that we spoke about earlier. Each post that I write will be included in one of those categories. Feel free to browse through them to find more specific information. And if you can’t find what you are looking for, feel free to suggest a topic, either through the comment section at the bottom of each individual post, or through our contact page.

In addition, please subscribe to our RSS feed. The button is in the upper right corner and will guarantee that you get the latest posts as soon as they arrive.

Finally, if you really want to get ahead, pick up a copy of my book Overcoming Gradversity: How to Break Into The Entry Level Job Market. You can buy it through the banner above this post, or through the link below. Or, feel free to suggest a Gradversity seminar/workshop to your career center manager. Customized programs can be provided. These programs help Gradversity.com stay up and running for the benefit of all new grads.

As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line either through the comment link at the bottom of each post, or through our contact page in the menu bar.
