Finding Your First Job
Getting your diploma is only one step towards getting a job. The links below will help you prepare to enter the workforce. Now, I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about how to write a resume or dress for an interview. There are already a lot of sites that do that. Google 'resume' and you'll get 385,000,000 hits. I'm going to suggest a four-year plan so that you'll be fully prepared when it comes time to find a job. I've identified the different kinds of corporate cultures you'll find and the pros and cons of working in each. I also have some tips on networking, preparing for an interview, planning your career and a note on negotiating your first salary.
Other sites focus on the mechanics of getting a job. This site will tell you what's really important to find a cool job with people you like.
