>> My final advice would be to work hard, take chances and really set yourself apart.
Be positive and be patient.
Don't get discouraged.
There's a lot of opportunities out there.
If there's a company that appeals to you, but the job might not be your ideal position,
don't discount it or pass up an interview.
The economy is so difficult today; it's not how it used to be.
You don't just graduate and walk off with, you know,
making $75,000 a year in a direct-hire job.
Working in staffing, I see this every day, more than anyone.
And I know that, sometimes, you know, you might --
the position might not be ideal that you're approached for, but you want to get your foot
in the door and explore the company, explore other opportunities.
And you never know where it can lead.
Maybe it doesn't work out at that company, but you can network out of it, get referrals.
You just want to make sure you start somewhere.
And once you get in, you can really prove yourself
and become the employee that you want to be.
