I'll be graduating in May with a BA in Communication and I don't have a job lined up yet. Any suggestions?

Dear Optimistic,

Do you know what kind of a job you want and in what industry? Have you decided your preferred locations? If not, do a little research as to the types of jobs that are out there and find out where employers of your chosen industry are located. Once you are clear about what you want, I suggest you start meeting people in your chosen career/industry outside of the "give me a job" arena, such as Conferences, where you can make some contacts and discover who could really use your talents. Good Luck!
