Still looking for work?

Some of you may have heard Lindsey Pollak speak here earlier last fall. She has a great book out called "Getting from College to Career:90 Things To Do Before You Join The Real World". You can check out more about her and her book on her blog.

She blogged recently about the mess at Bear Stearns that left a lot of interns and about-to-be-graduates jobless. Some of her advice to those indivduals applies well to anyone conducting a job search. Here are the main points, check her post for the details:

• Make use of your University Career Services office (no, I didn't ask her to say this!)
• Take action immediately, and every day
• Cast a wider net
• Consider temping
• Network consistently

Take a second to view her post and see the details of what she is saying. It's all good advice if you are struggling to find something (especially that first part about coming to see us!). We can help you put together a strategy for your search and help you to get the best results from your effort.

Don't panic, but don't delay!

Rick - thank you for the shout-out! Good luck to all of your students this spring. I'd love to come back and speak at Sacred Heart again next year -- looking forward to keeping in touch!
