1. Your First Job Must Be Your Dream Job
  • Everyone dreams of the perfect jobtop salary, a
    gym and cafeteria on site, flex- or telecommute
    timebut you need to think about long-term goals.
    Ask yourself
  • How will your first job help you grow
    professionally?
  • Is formal training available?
  • What about reimbursement for outside courses?
  • Are employees promoted frequently?
  • Do performance reviews take place regularly?

2. You just need a jobany job
  • If youre desperate, stop looking for a
    professional position right now. Heres why.
  • First, its hard to hide desperation, and it
    might be the reason youre not landing a jobif
    youve had interviews. Second, youre more likely
    to choose a job thats a poor fit, and youll end
    up where you started.
  • If youre in a financial crunch, find a job
    waiting tables, doing retail sales, or
    freelancing. A temp job or a virtual assistant
    position can tide you over and help you relax
    while you reassess. You can even ask for student
    loan deferment, if needed.

3. Youre tempted to lie about skills or
credentials
  • Just dont do it. Ever. In the worst case, youll
    lose your job. At best, youll always have to
    hide something, and you have better things to do.
  • Save yourself some trouble and be upfront and
    honest. Why not breathe easy and be yourself? You
    are enough. And if youre lacking certain skills
    or credentials, take a class or get some
    training.
  • Theres no better feeling than confidence and
    pride in using your skills to accomplish
    wonderful things.

  • Where do you want to be in five or ten years from
    now? Twenty years? Get there by getting out of
    your comfort zoneoften.

    group meetings.
