Did you know more than half of recent graduates do not have full time jobs? Landing a job without any help can be really hard. I'm happy to tell you about an awesome job coaching service and a contest offered by Fifth Third Bank where you can enter to win personalized job coaching from NextJob. I've partnered with Fifth Third Bank to bring you this post. I will receive compensation for my time, but all thoughts and opinions shared here are entirely my own.
Getting the Job
If you haven't heard, I'm a recent graduate! 🙂 I finally finished my Bachelor's degree in nutrition science! For me, getting a ‘real' job will come in a couple years because I have to complete an extensive internship in order to earn my RDN first. In the meantime I'm working on several other projects. BUT, tons of my friends are now scrambling to find full time work. Many of them had great luck and landed jobs quickly after graduation. Sadly, a large number of them are still looking.
Getting a job is anything but easy. On average, 200 people apply for every job opening. Only 2% of them actually get interviews.

That's why you need job search coaching. NextJob's experts nearly triple your chances of landing a job faster than going it alone.

Congratulations on your degree! Good luck on your internship. It is definitely hard to find a job. I’m a substitute teacher looking for a second job, but haven’t been able to find one. Thanks for the post.

About the only help I had 40 years ago was a book called ‘What Color is your Parachute’. Glad I don’t have to do that again. Congrats on your graduation.

Congrats on graduating! My daughter graduates from college in August, and she is just starting her job search. She is pretty nervous, because it can be intimidating.
