If you are in college, then you are likely going to want a job after you graduate. However, you can’t wait until the day after graduation to start promoting yourself and applying for jobs in today’s competitive world. Here are some tips and hints on getting a job after you graduate from college:

1. Create a LinkedIn profile.

LinkedIn is a social networking site for business professionals. It can be very helpful in promoting someone and getting references and leads towards a job after graduating from college. If you don’t have a profile and LinkedIn account, then you should get one right away. The basic version is free. It allows you to get your name out there, post your resume, find like-minded individuals and have people endorse your skills and abilities. This should be done by your senior year in high school, so don’t wait until the last year in college to start a LinkedIn account.
