Hello all!
There is one thing everyone should remember. The job prospects out there are shit. Sorry! I've heard it again and again. Seen it. The number one thing we can do to make ourselves more desirable to employers is gain experience. It's that simple, but has anyone noticed that most job postings (for entry-level positions, I might add) state one to two years experience or at least one year's experience. It's like how on earth can we have that experience if this is our first job? Well, an internship or a few could help us plenty in the long-run.
Here's a compilation of some great article's I've found helpful recently:
This one doesn't exactly fit into the realm of getting a job, but it tells you what companies will reimburse you for a masters, well at least some of the masters, which is much better than nothing :) On a side note, I've recently discovered the Classy Career Girl Blog. It rocks!
Please do check out the rest of what these sites have to offer, especially Classy Career Girl and the Levo League. These were just a select few of articles I found helpful, they actually have a ton!
Hope this helps with your job and internship search needs!

I have a year and a half until graduation, so this is really helpful and scary. Scary because I can't believe I'm an adult and will have to go out and get a job pretty soon! Thanks for these tips!
Hey Jenna! I have about the same amount of time left. I saw you're a Creative Writing major! Cool! That's my second major. :) Hope this helps ya--those sites are great resources, at least I've found. Are you planning on working at a publishing house?
Internships are a great way to ease into a paying job. BTW, love your artwork, Elizabeth. And I like the title of your story, Crystal Milk.
Aw thanks Catherine! :) And actually Crystal Milk is the novel I'm revising and would one day like to do a few illustrations for.
