It's about that time when your career as a student is coming to an end. You may be wondering what is going to happen next. It's time for you to enter into the real real. There are a few things you need to assess before venturing out.
Know what you what. Figure out what you want to do first. Narrow your options, if you don't you will be wasting a lot of your time. Time is the one precious commodity you can never get back.
Talk, talk, talk. Ask around. Everyone has been in the same position as you after graduation. Most people are willing to help or know of someone that can. Don't be shy, get out there and ask!
Always remember the rule of 3. When talking to anyone in the industry you are looking to enter, remember to ask for 3 other contacts that you could talk to.
Informational interview. Informational interviews are a great way to learn more about a company you are interested in. It allows you to meet and reach out to employees in the company. If they are impressed with you, when I position opens up you may receive a phone call to come in for an interview for the position!
