Of course, there will be a few of us who managed to secure graduate jobs prior to being unleashed into the wild; however that can't be the case for all of us, and it certainly wasn't the case for me.

This way you could at least score yourself an interview.

The Career Search
Career searching. We’ve all been there. However, it isn't easy. It’s hard to nail down what you want to do with your life—unless you’re one of those "I’ve wanted this my whole life" type of humans.

Back then, it was understood that being a student, you probably didn’t have much work experience, if any at all.
