Find Your First Career Job

FINDING the best first job requires careful preparation. There is a lot to keep in mind, but if you start early and plan well, you should have plenty of time to be successful.
- What are the most important things to keep in mind? Take advantage of your school's career counseling and job placement programs. If you are unsure of your direction, test your interests, aptitudes, and skills with reliable evaluation instruments.
- Success in finding the right job means “selling yourself.” Your most effective sales tools will be your résumé and accompanying cover letter. Get the help you need to create the best ones possible.
- Are you ready to interview? Much interviewing success results from a feeling of confidence, which is fueled in turn by preparation. Research your target industry, your target employer, the job opportunity–even your prospective boss–as thoroughly as you can.
