Don’t Be Scared…

It’s a scary business once you graduate… fear of not landing a job is every graduate’s nightmare, but having said that, being assertive and learning that trait while you are still in school will better prepare you for the job hunting you will inevitably be partaking in once you graduate. Having this skill will ensure you the position you want versus settling for a position that lacks what you’re seeking.  

Feeling confident in a job interview will give your potential employers a glimpse into your managerial style, and a confident, assertive, not aggressive candidate is just what they are looking for to move their company forward.

Position Depends On Your Degree…

It depends on the degree you seek…the following will guide you through the potential position outcomes for each degree level:

  • An associate’s degree may qualify you for a labor relations specialist, office manager, or administrative specialist job.
  • Positions such as account executive, business analyst, HR manager, and management consultant typically require a four-year degree, such as a BA in Business Management.
  • You could qualify for senior-level positions, such as CEO, senior management consultant, or director of operations, with an advanced degree, such as an MBA in management or an MBA in marketing.
