NYC Job-Hunting Guide for New Grads

Land Your New York Dream Job

From

No more pencils, no more books! Many congratulations to all those who have completed (or will complete) a degree program in 2006!

After you relax for a bit and show off the partying skills you mastered at school, it’s important you take steps to secure a well-paying job. Sure, you’re rolling your eyes, but think about it -- how else are you going to pay for all those happy-hour cocktails?

New York City has become the mecca for recent grads in search of well-paid positions at top organizations. Each year, many fresh-faced graduates trade the campus quad for a cubicle in corporate New York.

Before you start scoping out affordable studio apartments, make sure you take time to carefully plan your search for a full-time position. At each step of the process, keep in mind that no job hunt – especially one in New York -- is successful without preparedness and organization.
