Get a job already!

Alright, already, we get it- it’s time to begrudgingly grow up and find ourselves a job. But we’re in a recession (if you haven’t heard) and jobs are being cut daily, and now because of that B in Stats freshman year it’ll be even harder to find a job.  And  we can’t stop eavesdropping on the kid sitting next to us in the computer lab who’s stressing over another employer presentation at Wasserman either and that’s making us stress too. 

It all seems a little overwhelming and, though my mom tells me I can be anything when I grow up, I know that requires at least someone else to believe it too (perhaps an employer?) In comes the resume.  Love it or hate it, it’s going to get you that job. 

USNews recently published an article entitled “5 Resume Mistakes You’re Probably Making.”  We all love numbers and lists- and this one happens to be incredibly useful.  According to the article, most people don’t know how to sell themselves.  So read this article and learn.  (Just remember, you’re still a college student- this article seems to be geared more towards professionals. Take everything with a small grain of salt.) And then relax.
