As another class of graduates prepares to enter the job market, the importance of having a well-defined strategy becomes increasingly evident. Just over a million Americans received bachelor’s degrees in 2023, with most individuals seeking employment within 9 months of graduating, according to the US Bureau of Statistics. CEO of Spearmint Coaching Fran Berrick, joins Wealth to share her insights and tips for graduates to secure jobs after college.
Berrick notes that new graduates often fail to create "a target job description." She emphasizes the need for a focused approach, as new graduates frequently "leave their search completely online," neglecting the power of networking and failing to "focus their plan forward." She notes the importance of understanding what one’s experiences look like "in the actual job market."
On the AI front, Berrick stresses the need for college grads to go beyond just creating a resume tailored to AI. Instead, she encourages them to focus on in-person networking and truly understanding the job itself. "The idea here is having as many conversations to exponentially increase your reach and your message, and ultimately find someone who’s gonna need your skills and services," Berrick told Yahoo Finance.
