Top Secret Advice For Students!

What are the best kept secrets that every student should know? How do you stand out in a huge sea of people who might look just like you on a piece of paper? What can you do to stand out to recruiters, and how do you convince someone that you are THE perfect candidate for a job? CAREEREALISM has the three secrets that all college students need to hear.

Show how your personal brand is different. Know what you are good at, make yourself an expert at it, and let it shine through. Let employers see this by showing them that you can take the initiative to create a project proposal idea on your own about their company. Be different, and stand out!

Eat, sleep, and breathe networking! Don’t ever stop meeting people, smiling, shaking their hand, and keeping in touch, because you never know who you are going to run into later. Always carry a business card with you listing your contact information. It is a quick and easy way to show that you are not only a prepared individual, but that you are also interested in someone’s company and keeping in touch with them.

Always be positive! Positive energy goes a long way in the workforce because employers will always remember this attribute about your personality. They may not remember specifically what projects you worked on at an internship at their company two summers ago, but they will always remember the impression that you left.
