With the ending of each day this semester, marks another day closer to graduation. This can be one of the happiest moments of your life or one of the scariest — it all depends on how ready you are for the ‘real world.’ I’m still up in the air about which side of the graduation continuum I fall under — actually each day I have a different view.

I immediately jumped on my computer and started updating my resume, searching jobs, re-posting my resume and taking out all the business cards I’ve acquired over the last few years. That’s the thing, you might be starting a new life where no one knows your name, but usually people who do know your name are the ones who help you get that foot into the door. (more…)
