How Should I get Started with a Job Search?
Even when the economy is running white-hot, finding quality employment can be a challenge for recent college graduates. In many ways, advanced degrees no longer offer the employment advantages they once did. It all comes down to good job search techniques and a willingness to compete. Experts have always suggested that you should treat your job search just like you would a full-time job. Even with the advent of online job postings and emailable resumes, nothing has fully replaced the face-to-face interview or knocking on the human resource manager’s door.

Based on this assessment of your strengths, interests, weaknesses and skills, you should be able to focus your job search
