Stand Out
There is no better tool for the college grad than to find a way to stand out overall. That is, to do well in the job market, you need to be the type of person who is able to display your job skills or experiences. As a college grad, you may not feel you have a lot to offer in this area. However, here are some tips to help you to stand out in a competitive job market.

• Do the internship. Do more than one job internship if you can do so. It may be exactly what you need to land a job.

• Use the job internship as a job networking tool. Even if you do not land the job from that internship, you can use it to make connections on social media sites and in day to day life so that you can apply to positions later.

• Work at a lower end job. One of the biggest hits to many college graduates today is having to work in a lower end job than they qualify for. This is becoming the time when getting your foot in the door is critical.

• Contact and work with a staffing agency. You may be able to learn key job skills here. You will gain work experience that is valuable in other areas.

• Do something and keep busy. The worst thing you can do for yourself is not do nothing but wait for a job to roll your way. Stay busy with professional organizations and in the industry as a whole.

The job market may not be as great as you hoped it would be when you enrolled in school four years ago, but there are many industries transforming and doing well. Your job is to make sure you are a worth candidate for that position when it becomes available.
