Go back to your school's career services office and ask for help, contacts, etc.



Then start working your contacts. Network, network, network. Always ask for advice and recommendations, rather than asking for a job. They'll be much more willing to help. Talk with people in the roles you want to be in and ask them more about what they do and what organizations they belong to. Call those organizations and ask for a list of members or member companies in your area. Always ask people for permission to tell others that they referred you before dropping someone's name. Network, network, network. Keep lists. Send thank you letters. Follow up. Be positive, persistent, and engaging.



You'll be employed in 90 days.
