Jon’s advice for graduates entering the workforce:
- Get the right mindset: Take a deep breath and be patient, persistent and consistently searching
- Catalog what you’ve done: committees, jobs, internships, athletics and the lessons you learned and value you brought to those situations
- Research the jobs you want
- Reach out to your network and centers of influence to see who can make introductions for you
- Create an up-to-date resume
- Prep for the interview (prep 10 questions)
- Practice interviewing
- Show up early to the interview
- Dress for the job you want
- Sell your value
