THE HR
CONNECTION
Motivated. Educated. Graduated.
It’s the season of pomp and circumstance. Congratulations to the Class of 2023 for reaching this important milestone as the first graduates to be affected by COVID-19 for all four years of college.
These students have shown adaptability, creativity and resilience–all important skills that will translate well in the workplace. However, this year’s grads are now faced with more uncertainty as some organizations plan to hire fewer employees than in 2022.
Here are my tips for how to land your first job:
Put Your Best Foot Forward

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
That’s why I want you to pause. Take a breath. A moment to reflect and reassess so you can put your best foot forward.
