How does a college student prepare finding a job?

It does not need to be an internship, folks!

Someone who temped as a file clerk, administrative assistant, researcher, assistant editor, etc. (and probably made minimum wage) has an edge over someone who has never worked before. I’ve had candidates who have successfully demonstrated “I’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done” with a description of staying in the office until midnight because he/she was the only person who knew how to fix a balky excel or could edit an ungainly Powerpoint before the boss had a big meeting.

But if the OP could clarify what kind of job the kid is looking for, we can all be more helpful!

Does not need to be an internship with a fancy title. It can be a plain vanilla job.
