PFCollege: Always Project Professionalism in Job Hunting
I found Anna Ivey’s blog, The Ivey Files: Musings on the big, bad world after college, because I saw through Technorati that she linked to me in her sidebar, and in digging around at her main site I found a great article about 5 Mistakes College Grads Make When Looking for a Job that you should read if you’ve been looking for a job. While she lists five mistakes, the main thrust of the article revolves around how you, as a job candidate, should try your hardest to project professionalism at all times.
