Job Seeking Tips for the College Graduate

Toward your final years of college, the pressure to find a good, solid, career can begin to set in. In your last year, if you aren’t on the ball, opportunities can slip away. Kmet Consulting is the expert when it comes to job seeking, and we have several tricks up our sleeve to help YOU land your dream job. If you’re a college student getting ready to head out into “the real world,” don’t worry. The best HR consulting company is here to let you know that “the real world” isn’t all that different from the one you’re living in right now!

YOUR RESUME

That little piece of paper can be intimidating! Your resume can make or break an opportunity for you and should differentiate you from the crowd. We can help you craft a resume to showcase all your greatest qualities and accomplishments, such as industry-specific awards, certifications and advanced degrees. Unfortunately, most companies can’t afford to get to know the person behind every resume they receive. By properly and uniquely communicating your value to the employer, you have a better chance of landing that coveted interview.

THE SEARCH

Finding the right job for you is more than just looking at what’s the most fun or what pays the best. Yes, those should definitely be things you look at when deciding, but there are several other factors that play into finding the perfect career. Look for what benefits you’ll be eligible for, what kind of growth opportunities you’ll have, and what kind of educational opportunities you’ll qualify for. Keep in mind what the hours of operation are, what the office culture is like, and what kind of people they have recruited to their team. If you feel like you’ll be treated well, you’ll mesh well with the company, and you’ll have room to grow, it might just be a place to consider.

INTERVIEW PREP

Kmet Consulting is not just a firm that works with the bosses, we work with the employees and potential employees too! Once you’ve got that interview scheduled, preparing is vital to your success. Dressing the part, speaking clearly and confidently, and coming with knowledge of the company are all things that can help you seal the deal. By reviewing the job description and company history beforehand, you can impress the interviewer and prove that you’re a perfect fit for the job. We can help you prepare for that important first step toward your career.

THE INTERVIEW

Once you’ve been offered an interview, congratulations! This is your chance to impress a potential employer. Aside from your resume, experience, and education or training, your attitude and behavior stand out to an interviewer. An interview for your first job is different than any part-time or seasonal position you’ve held before. Brushing up on the basics of etiquette can only help. Interviewing is a learned skill, and Kmet Consulting is happy to help in any way possible. You only have one chance to make a great first impression, and we can teach you strategies to enhance your skills. We want you to ace that interview!


The post-graduation job hunt can feel like a daunting task, and we understand. That’s why our HR consulting firm is here to help you prepare, give you feedback, and help you grow as an indispensable future employee. Though you might be a job seeker right now, we don’t want that to be your permanent title! Kmet Consulting wants to help YOU stand out in today’s saturated market.
