Be Very
Practical
For many of you, your professional plans and career
launch strategies will soon have to change. The companies
you're interested in may not be hiring right now, as entire
sectors are being reconfigured and overturned. This is
painful and bizzare, but it can also be a call for action. You
will need to adopt a practical approach and align your job
search with organizations that are still hiring.
We know this can be difficult, and in many ways
counterintuitive to everything you heard during college,
but it's necessary. You will compromise and make
concessions, but you will also be setting yourself up for
long-term success!
Stay
Connected
You all know that most people find jobs through
networking and personal connections. This should come
as a surprise to no one. Staying connected with people
and communities, and growing your network is paramount
to success in a virtual world.
Increasing your network should be a daily exercise! Don't
forget about folks you met at work, through networking, or
at random during your time in D.C.!
