I remember my senior year in college like it was yesterday. I was stressed out for most of it because I was afraid I wouldn’t find a job and end up living in my parents’ house until I was 30. I was applying to tons of jobs and either never hearing back nor receiving a “sorry” email and I was not sure why. I had decent grades, a college degree (almost), a resume, and a standard cover letter. What was I doing wrong?

These are great tips. Something that is often overlooked is utilizing your knowledge, skills, degree and passion and starting your own business. I recently had a conversation with a young women that was building a freelance webdesign business. I asked her if she had been taught to do this in school, and she replied, “no, we learned to write a resume, and how to dress, talk and act in an interview”. This is a huge missing link in education. The business world has changed, no longer can you rely on an employer to grant you a job in your field. However, you can take what you’ve got and build a business freelancing with several companies. This creates more stability, more flexibility and self reliance.
