The Top 11 Mistakes That Recent Grads Make in the Job Hunt

this is a really good article. I would just say that if you just graduated and you are still on the job hunt, find a place to intern or even volunteer in the meantime. That way it doesn't look like you were being idle on your resume, and it will make you feel better about yourself in general.

Even if you don't get a job right away or the job of your dreams, there is no reason to panic. It isn't healthy and doesn't benefit people in any way. So, while I am a big advocate in working hard for your goals, I also strongly encourage people to relax and take some time for yourself. Otherwise, fantastic article and thank you for all of the advice!

Good advice, Chris.

Thanks Chris. Like all of us I hate to look for a job, I am thinking about my own business but I still need experience... For me getting hired means win with myself.

great advice :) .... especially about being creative where you apply, even more so in this economy. I have been looking for a job in architectural design, drafting and rendering and just started dropping my resume off at different architecture firms in the area. I has called comapnies first and asked if i could drop off or e-mail or mail them my resume, some comapnies dont want you to just come in. while i was doing this i passed a construction and engineering firm and thought "what the heck, its worth a shot" i went in, introduced myself to the secretary and gave her my resume. she explained she didnt think they were hiring but would pass my resume along and they would call me if interested. So i left and continued onto the next firm on my list and 5 minutes latter i get a phone call from that company asking me to come in for and interview latter that day! ....i havent been hired yet,i find out in a week but it was defenitately a positive experience! you just never know where you could get in.

Thanks Chris
