Job Search Tips

5. Learn to think beyond major.

Some of you have a major that equals a job title. Most of you don't. Learn to think about occupations, industries, kinds of businesses, job skills and career fields. The real world is not organized by major. (See the Monster Major-to-Career Converter to see job titles and get ideas.)

6. Don't expect your job search to be quick and easy.

A job search is hard work. Your motivation and attitude are the keys to your success. Expect to put in as much work, for two semesters, as a really tough 3-credit-hour class in which you want to get an A. It's worth that to you.
