And yet this exciting time also seems to raise many questions such as: "Should I get a job now or continue my education'" "If I decide to get a job, what are the prospects and how can I sell myself to possibb employers? "If I've decided to continue on wlh school should I get my master's degree first, or go for my l'h.D. right away?" How useful is an MBA?" "Will an advanced degree really help me get the job I want?" To help you sort out your options, the U.S. Department of l,abor has three booklets for you. Resumes, Application Forms, Cover Letters, and Interviews (Item 19t)K, $1.00) will tell you how to tailor you resume to specific jobs, score higher on employment tests, and do well on interviews.

Whether you have decided to tacle the job market now after finishing your BA or BS, or have decided to go on for further study, one thing you will need, sometime in the near, or distant future, is a good resume. To create a good resume, or application form if the job requires it, you need two different kinds of information: Facts about yourself and facts about the job you want. So your first step should be to gather together all kinds of information about yourself, whether it be the obvious such as your name, address and current phone number, or more complicated such as a list of your past employment (paid or volunteer) including the dates of employment, full address of employer, your job title, starting and finishing salary, and reason for leaving. If you wish to tailor your resume to a specific job, you will need to find out as much as possible about the job you are applying for including experience and education required, and the duties you will be performing if you are selected. Once you have the information you need, keep in mind that there are different ways of arranging the information. The most popular is reverse chronology in which you describe your most recent job first and work backwords. You can also crate a functional resume in which you group together former jobs and skills that are relative to the job December 9. 1987, Page 17 you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for a job at a bank, put all your jobs and skills relating to handling money and finance together. This form is more helpful to potential employers as they do not have to search to determine if you have the experience and skills to qualify for the job. If you are apprehensive as to whether there is a job out there for you as a recent college graduate, lake heart. The job market for college graduates is improving and it is estimated that 8 out of 9 college graduates that enter the job market from 1984 to 1995 will find a college level job. Of course you may decide that you want to get more education before you go out into the "cold crurl world. Many people today choose to get an MBA, a masters degree in business administration, and later find numerous opportunities in finance, marketing, and banking to name just a few. Other graduates go directly into Fh.l). programs which can take six or more years to complete. MBA's Where they work and where they're needed, and Outlook for College Graduates and Ph.D.'s will help you decide if either of these options is right for you. So learn a bit more before you earn.
