Get Those Graduation Announcements Out, Part Four.

Graduation Announcements, Part Four, The Really Important Part.

Now. Your graduation announcements are addressed, neatly addressed, stamped and mailed. Most importantly you have a list of each of the people to whom you have sent an announcement, especially at the businesses.

This list could be the key to your immediate and even long term future back on Planet Earth.

Here's why. Soon after your actual graduation, very soon, start calling the individuals from the list you had used for your mailing.

Once you reach them identify your self and say something simple and friendly like, "Hi, I'm Recent Graduate. I sent you an announcement and I'd really like to talk with you sometime about what I can do for your business."

Listen carefully to what they say and make a brief note next to their name on the list. If it is something like,"Thanks we'll let you know." note that and go on the the next name.

If you get an interview out of this effort, well, you're on your way. That is the actual point of this entire exercise, full time employment, or as close as possible, which recognizes your status as a college graduate.

Your very hard earned degree is now a permanent part of your resume and the recognition provided by your first job as a graduate is critical to your progress back on Planet Earth.
