Yeah, you completed your degree. Whaddaya want, a gold star?
These days, successfully completing any college degree is in itself no small feat. If you think you're going to do this and find a job immediately after graduation, well, you're just asking for miracles -- and those are in short supply, especially under today's wild economic conditions. Don't think you'll be able to strut into an office of your choosing with nothing but an undeserved sense of entitlement and a quarter-page resume and be able to land a job. Unfortunately for all of us, that's not how the game works. A good resume, a good worth ethic, and good luck are all required in roughly equal measure in order for you to find career success once school's out. Once these three things converge, more and more doors will open for you -- and that sense of entitlement will become a bit more deserved.Labels: job search, resume tips, work ethic
