Tips for Recent Graduates

The economy is bad but I am not sure why the recent graduates are slacking and/or lacking urge to get a job.


It was not that long ago when I was looking for a job and I definitely remember that the effort I put in to finding a job was greater than finishing my schooling. I am truly perplexed at the low level of professionalism shown by the recent graduates that we recently interviewed.

There are literally about 200,000,000 results for the search terms "interview tips" on Google. Review some of these and follow them. Talk with your College Career Counselor, they will coach you on interviewing.

At the very least, do NOT arrive late for an interview and/or call the company to get directions.

For the Love of Peacock!

I have always been a fan of the villains in books and movies. Who doesn't like the Joker in The Dark Knight? But I have always been a fan of the baddies since I started to read Shakespeare - Macbeth and Iago are my favorites. I think the villains make the story that much more enjoyable.

My new favorite is Lord Shen, the Evil Peacock in Kung Fu Panda 2, played by Gary Oldman. I just want to watch the movie again to watch the Peacock!!
