3 Ways to Get Your Dream Job After College
Every graduating student wants a job that is challenging, has a future and one they
could be proud of. However, not every recent college graduate goes about finding their
dream job in a matter that is conducive to finding that position that can change their
career.
While many variables exist when discussing how to get one's dream job, here are 3 tips
that will help any recent college graduate seal the deal.
1. Dress - for women, I believe that interviewing dress is a little more versatile and that
they should dress according to company culture. However, for men, it is imperative that they
wear a suit and tie as anything less may be thought of as disrespectful to an interviewer
who has been with the company for 20 years and who is giving their time to meet with
a new graduate.
2. Not Negotiating Salary - for a recent college graduate, money is not something that should
be of big concern. You only make money in your career if you can bring tangible skills
to the table. Thus, the more tangible skills you acquire, the more money you are going
to make. Treat the first few years of your career as an acquisition period to where you
become a versatile player at any company in 5 to 7 years.
Therefore, don't let a few thousand dollars prevent you from taking a job that is heavy
on the acquisition. When I graduated college, I made the mistake of taking a job for the
money so I had to acquire the necessary skills on my own to start a business.
In the end, unless you're going in the first three rounds in the NBA draft, don't worry
about money. Domestic beer never killed anyone.
