How to get a job

"I landed my dream job right out of college."


How I did it: I started applying for jobs in February, knowing that I wanted to have one by the time I graduated in May.  I applied to every job that looked interesting in my field (marketing) - including a job for a Search Engine Marketer that required AT LEAST 2 years of experience.  I, however, had none.  I ended up getting an interview, then a second interview, then a job offer. 


Lessons & tips: Apply to a job you know you'll love, even if you're under qualified.  What can it hurt?  Then *wow* them at the interview. 


Resources: college education, passion, resume, business suit


It took me 1 month.


It made me ecstatic
