Tips for new college grads in Seattle

FIRST A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE: YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO FIND THE JOB YOU ARE GOING TO RETIRE FROM.

It hasn’t been invented yet. Instead, look for any opportunity to gain experience and skill. Break it down: What are you most passionate about and what are four aspects of that passion? Answer a few questions: what do you do, how do you do it, where do you do it, with whom do you do it? Now, what are some of the jobs that fit these four aspects? Use those findings as a guide for keywords in an advanced search on indeed.com or careerbuilder.com to seek opportunities, like jobs, internships, and volunteerships.

Working with a recruiter like us who specializes in jobs for recent graduates is also a great idea.
