despite the ongoing<\/a>?catfight<\/a>?between mid-lifers about who or what millenials are up to, you’re the only person who has full control over what your life will look like after graduation.?if you believe the media<\/a>, our generation is supposed to be full of spoiled brats who don’t know a good thing when it whacks them upside the face.<\/p>\n

well,?i<\/em> might be?lazily whiling away all that?free?time<\/em> us darned university students have, but now that gravy boat<\/a> has sailed for all you new grads. so here are some ways to deal with that perilous Real?World adults are always warning us about:<\/p>\n

1. use the career centre!?if you’re a recent grad, you can still use uoft’s job board<\/a>?to search for jobs. you can also attend the career centre’s incredibly helpful events. just log into your CLN account<\/a>?for a list of upcoming ones.?for example, tomorrow, UTM is holding an event called ‘Now That I’m Graduating What’s Next?’ why not register and mosey on over there if you’re at UTM?<\/p>\n

2. if you don’t have a job lined up right away, that’s fine. there’s no shame in taking refuge in your parents’ attic for a couple of months while you try to figure out what on earth you’re going to do with yourself. after all, harry potter lived in a cupboard for a decade plus and he turned out okay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. DON’T watch doctor phil thinking he’s gonna help you get your life together. you’ll just spend the entire day watching daytime TV and?you’ll find yourself going on tangents about pancakes<\/a> at any interviews you get.<\/p>\n

4. if you’re gonna try to get a job, do it right.?make sure you’re giving good interviews<\/a>,?learn about how to create an awesome application<\/a>, and buy some ace interview outfits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. if you’re not sure where you want your career to go, broaden your horizons. consider a college diploma<\/a>. talk to your parents’ friends who have exotic jobs you’ve never heard of. search that soul up a bit<\/a>; it’s gotten a tad dusty.<\/p>\n
