Advice from a May Grad

Earlier this week I had a conversation with a May graduate excited about his new job. The conversation went something like this:

Me: “Congratulations! How did you land your job?”
MG (May grad): "I talked to everyone I came in contact with for the past 2 1/2 years."
Me: “So, networking huh?
MG: "Oh, yeah – lots and lots of networking."
Me: “Sounds as if you're good at networking.”
MG: "I am. Do I like it? No. Did I do it? Yes -- I wanted a job. This is my life. And, the alternative to getting a job was going home, with my master’s degree, to live with my dad."
