<p>The worst part is that people graduating wait much too late to even start considering employment options. Your senior year should be fully devoted to finding a job – the process should not start in the 3 weeks leading up to graduation. By the summer between your junior and senior year, you should have a plan of action for the type of job you are targeting, the timeline that the recruitment, and how you plan on impressing and eventually achieving the goal of being offered that position. A game plan is very important. It begins about two years prior to you actually graduating.</p>
