  1. Students should also prepare well before graduation by doing internships in their junior year or during the summer.
    Well organized, project based internships, concurrent with academic follow up have the advantage to bring students one step closer to the real world.

  2. I also believe that recent graduates have to remember that the first step forward in no way determines what you will be doing for the rest of your life. Making that first step forward after graduation is key– Life, experiences and solid career choices will follow. Recent graduates simply have to be willing to move forward without necessarily having all the answers at this time. Patience, determination and a critical mind is key.

  3. Many people are searching for a new job in order to provide their family’s needs but unfortunately, at this moment where the economy is in mess, it’s hard to find a job that really suits your skills and knowledge. Because of economic mess, many people are unemployed and the price of gas continues to rise. And with this kind of situation, many people tend to cut their expenses at home and the idea of having an exciting and fun summer vacation set aside. Nevertheless, even if your budget is tight there are still other ways on how you can enjoy your vacation without spending a huge amount of money. Keep in mind that summer is not just the time to go to the beach and in Disneyland but rather this is a chance to build a strong relationship with your family and loved ones and provide memories that will last for a lifetime.
