Script:

Voice: Sometimes it´s hard to decide what to study and it gets even harder to find a job as soon as you obtain your college degree. Well, if you pay attention to the following tips, you´ll find it easier and they will help you a lot with your future decisions.

First, don´t forget that the profession you choose could be the job of your entire life; so it is important to choose what to study carefully. Try to imagine yourself having the job you want 5 or 10 years from now. If you look satisfied, it is probably because you selected the correct profession.

Second, choose a good university; there are many options on the market so you should compare positive and negative aspects of each one and what they offer you before you make your decision.

As soon as you finish your studies, it is a good idea to update and print your résumé with all the important information about you; your experience and achievements. Then attend one of those job fairs that look for new applicants; look for a position that suits you; consider salary expectancies, schedule and other elements before leaving your documents. Now just wait for an appointment to have a job interview soon.
