These
days, getting a job right out of college is harder than ever. Students spend
their time studying, writing papers, acing tests, and when it comes time to
apply for those “real world” jobs, they hope that their grades, meticulously
put together resume, professionally written cover letter and personal drive
will land them a good job. Unfortunately, a high grade point average and great
looking resume are not enough anymore. Today, employers have said the number
one thing they look at above all else, is a potential candidate’s internship
experience.
Check

post-college job hunt!
