Having a plan can calm your mind and help you know what steps to take next.

Starting work for the first time can feel scary, but that feeling is normal and it will pass.

The people you know can help you find a job, so talk to friends, family, and contacts.

Use your school’s career services to get support, advice, and attend job fairs.

Look for internships while in college, as they can lead to real job offers later.

Make sure your online profile shows your goals, strengths, and what kind of job you want.
