What do you want to do with your life?
Do you have plans after college?
Weve all been asked these questions and may
have been frightened by the fact that we really
dont know where we will be after graduation. We
may not know what life holds after college but we
do know the time to prepare for those years is now.
The job market has come a long way since the
2007-2009 recession, in which 8.7 million jobs
were lost, but job hunting is still not easy and job
growth remains weak. These facts may not sound
promising, but in order to better prepare for our fu-
ture we need to improve our competitive advantage
by better preparing ourselves.
In order to do so, weve compiled helpful tips on
how to dress for interviews, improve your resume,
edit your cover letter, and use social media to your
advantage. After landing your interviews, take a
look at our piece on thank-you notes to know how to
professionally follow up with future employers.
Those still undecided or simply uninterested with
their current major should read the ve newest
majors that seem to currently carry the highest
demands for jobs after college. If those ve majors
dont cut it, the Q&A with Daniel Seddiqui, a job-
hunting expert who has held 50 different jobs in
all 50 states, can help inspire you to explore your
opportunities and land your dream job.
Dont dread your job hunt. Staying focused,
organized and goal-oriented while following our
helpful tips, will help you overcome our less-than-
ideal economy and land a great job. Soon we will
hopefully be making money at a job we love, thanks
to the effort we made during these four years.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Dressed in a gold shirt playing the part of Osiris, Daniel Seddiqui, center, entertains the crowds including Addison Breiding, left, and Lauren Miko as he performs as one
of the stilt walkers outside the Mummy ride at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., May 7, 2009. Seddiqui traveled across the country, doing a different job for a week in all
50 states.
In 2008 afer failing yet another job interview,
Daniel Seddiqui wondered to himself where all
the job opportunities were in the United States.
Soon afer, he embarked on a journey to work a
diferent job in each of the 50 states.
As a follow-up to 50 Jobs in 50 States, Sed-
diqui is lecturing at colleges across the country
about fnding a career, fnding your passion and
understanding culture and lifestyle.
Seddiquis lecture at the University is Wednes-
day, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. Te lecture will be in the
Big 12 room in the Kansas Union.
Q: What ultimately inspired you to work 50
jobs in 50 states?
A: A combination of building awareness and
desperation. I couldn't fnd work afer college,
so naturally I wanted to fnd opportunities any-
way that I could, and learn what I've been doing
wrong. Tere were many breaking points that led
me to the journey, so there were enough signs
to say, hey, Ive got to do something drastic and
unconventional.
Q: What was your favorite job? What was
your least favorite?
A: Tere are many great jobs out there that I
wouldnt have otherwise discovered, like fore-
casting weather on TV or hydrology, where we
hiked in the Rocky Mountains. I really liked
most jobs because it was a chance to learn difer-
ent industries that shape our country. Te worst
was lobstering in Maine because of being seasick
and I couldnt control my performance on the
site.
Q: What state did you like the most?
A: I liked all places that I hadnt visited previ-
ously, like Arkansas, Kansas and South Caro-
lina, because I wanted to learn about what the
rest of the country goes through.
Q: What job did you work in Kansas? Did
you enjoy it?
A: Meatpacking, and no. It was great to fnally
learn how food is processed, which I appreci-
ate the work people choose, but it wasn't out of
sight, out of mind, in the job. Tats what made it
tough, the fact that you had to face the discom-
fort of gunning down animals and then process-
ing them by hand, no machinery used.
Q: What was the most challenging job?
A: All were a challenge and thats what helped
me succeed in the journey because everything
was stimulating and new.
Q: How difcult was it to nd a job?
A: When youre not focused, it could be a near
impossible task. When you know what you
want, youll fnd ways to make it happen. In that
sense, yes I was rejected 5,000 times, but that
was taken out of the equation for me.

TECHNOLOGY
PROFESSIONALISM
Between seventh and 10th grade, most of
us realized the social importance of having a
Facebook, so we created profles on the site.
Now, between beginning college and entering
the job market, comes the realization of Linke-
dIns importance as a tool for the professional
world.
A LinkedIn profle essentially serves as your
online resume. In addition to whats normally
on your CV, like previous jobs and experienc-
es, you also need a professional profle picture
and a succinct description of your expertise.
Ten you can choose accurate keywords for the
skills and endorsements section that show-
case the breadth of your talent.
Once youve setup your profle, start connect-
ing with colleagues and friends. Tese people
can endorse your skill set and potentially
become resources for you. You can also join
groups to connect with professionals with simi-
lar interests and in the same feld as you.
Brooks Sargent, a sophomore from Prairie
Village, uses the site to connect with those he
has interacted with in academia.
By connecting through LinkedIn Im able to
draw upon that interaction for academic/pro-
fessional information or in the future maybe a
job opportunity, Sargent said.
Companies also post job listings on LinkedIn,
so you can search and apply for specifc jobs
online. Make sure your profle is clean and
complete before applying for anything though,
as employers will judge candidates based on
their profles as well as their applications.
LinkedIn can also assist in making an ap-
plicant stand out afer a job interview. Maria
Smithson, a 2013 University graduate from
Stilwell, used the site to help secure a job at the
Cerner Corporation.
Afer all three Cerner interviews I sent the in-
terviewer a thank you message and added them
on LinkedIn, Smithson said. Companies want
to know that you will go the extra mile and fol-
low up. LinkedIn allowed me to do that.

LinkedIn connects students, future employers
Customized cover letters strengthen job applications
How do you sum up your skills, past experi-
ences and creativity in one page for a future
employer? Te cover letter. According to the
KU Career Center, the purpose of a cover let-
ter is to motivate the employer to invite you to
an interview.
Journalism professor and career develop-
ment coordinator Patty Noland agrees. She
said the cover letter is the document that will
get you the interview. She breaks down the
letter into four parts:
1. THE ADDRESS AND
INTRODUCTION (2-3 SENTENCES)
Always address the letter to the name pro-
vided in the job listing and if you cannot fnd
that name, address it: Dear hiring manager.
Afer the address is the introduction of
yourself your name, when and where you
graduated and your major.
An article in U.S. News by Robin Reshaw
says that if you have a connection with some-
one at the company you should address the
connection in your opening sentences.
2. CUSTOMIZE YOURSELF TO THE
COMPANY (3-4 SENTENCES)
Tis is where you talk about why you like the
company. Noland says this part is where peo-
ple tend to make the biggest mistake because a
cover letter should be less about yourself and
more about the company.
You need to make sure you show interest in
the company and show them what it is about
the company that appeals to you, Noland
says.
3. WHY ARE YOU AN ASSET TO THE
COMPANY? (3-4 SENTENCES)
Te third part is about yourself and why
you would be a good asset to the company.
Highlight the best and most applicable parts
of your resume in this section and keep it to
about four sentences.
4. THE SALUTATION AND
FOLLOW-UP (1-2 SENTENCES)
Te fnal part is the salutation. Tank the
company for its consideration and say that
you will contact them within the next week.
Noland says that following up with the com-
pany to make sure they have received your
application is crucial and shows initiative.
For more tips on how to write the perfect
cover letter, the University Career Center has
numerous resources explaining how to write a
cover letter and other guides for entering the
job market.
