“You need to start looking for a job in the fall if you’re planning to graduate college in May” advised Joni Burton, CEO of JVS Careers.
Many local colleges, universities, and trade schools offer fall career fairs and provide a variety of in-person and virtual opportunities. It is at these fall career fairs that many companies decide on whom they are going to hire in May.
“If you wait until spring to start applying, you may miss out on opportunities with companies that have already made their hiring decisions,” Burton explained. “The best opportunities are going to get filled in the fall, and you want to be the person who gets one,” she continued.
JVS Careers can help you update your resume and polish your interview skills. We offer all of our career coaching services to students and recent graduates free of charge.
