NYC Job-Hunting Guide for New Grads

Land Your New York Dream Job

From Lauren M. Krauze, for About.com

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.
