What to Do and Not Do On Your First Job

Steven Rothberg at College Recruiter shares this advice for recent graduates (and anyone on their first day at work):

  1. Take advantage of the employment help offered by your school.
  2. Understand your value. 
  3. Proofread everything you use to present yourself. 
  4. Involve as many people as possible in your job search and maintain that network even after you've found a job.
  5. Be courteous. When you're interviewing, remember to turn off your cell phone.
  6. Complete the entire job application form.
  7. Dress in clothes which are appropriate to the workplace of the employer. If you're not working at a bar, then don't dress like you're going to a bar.
  8. Be realistic about your level of experience. You're at the beginning of your career, so accept that you need more training that people who have been working years longer than you have. Paying your dues is not a punishment. It is a passage.
  9. Don't ask for a cigarette at the conclusion of your interview.
  10. Never give up.
