Your Guide to Getting A Job After College 

With most videos on RU-vid, I feel like I get sucked into a dark hole and loose motivation to be productive. But with your videos I always leave feeling inspired and goal driven! Thanks for the tips Katherine! My dream job would be to work in digital marketing for Disney Parks & Resorts!

Yess this is the post-college content we need!

Hey, would you be able to film a video on how to 'speak' to people? What I mean is we're never really taught how to actually write emails so would you be able to give us advice on how to actually phrase questions such as referrals? What do you actually write on LinkedIn messages? Thanks!

GIRL. I’m two months out from graduating and was just having a conversation/freak out moment with my mom about this. Thank you for reading my mind!

“Coming up on graduation” Me, 2 months after graduating : “Ummm... Yeah!”

I've been tossing my resume around for what feels like forever! I've been working for the same company through high school and college mostly because the hours were super flexible and they were able to work with me around my class schedule but I just graduated last month! I don't really have much of an idea of where I want to end up, and at this point my main concern is paying the bills and paying off my student loan. It is super stressful, and I've certainly maxed out my room for growth within my current company. Hopefully I'll land a new job soon! Need positive vibessss

Wow, talk about perfect timing. I just stumbled upon your channel on Friday (and have already binged several videos) and in the middle of my job search today I find this. Thank you!

i watched your videos when i was applying to college and here i am five years later a month from graduation and i’m still here. i love tuning in to your channel! you always give great tips!

I’m so motivated to do all this yet so insecure to apply somewhere, get denied and get emotionally crashed

Subscribed! And definitely needed this, I recently finished university, also a business major so thanks for the advice! ☺️

Love this Kath! I work in consulting and just shared a video on how the Coronavirus is affecting job search especially over the past week ✨

I know this is an older video, but I'm absolutely loving your videos! This video just made me feel all fuzzy and good about myself like I know how to go about and tackle applying for jobs and job interviews and all that jazz for when I graduate in December!

Thank you so much for this! I'm down for literally any other career advice that you have

dream company: Spotify!!! even though I use apple music. Shhhhh

Advise for getting a job during/after COVID 😩

Just graduated last Friday and this is the content I need! TYSM

Dream job: Screenwriting for Disney/Pixar, and maybe even voice-acting for animated films! :) great video!! SUPER helpful!

Katherine, I'm graduating and these videos are so helpful. Thanks so much! keep at it.

Great video! I am not graduating until Spring 2020 but I am on the Internship grind right now!! Thank you for these tips, I already have a spreadsheet created from your other video!!

Please do a video on accepting offers and negotiating! This was so helpful, thank you!

Just starting the vid but w o w! You're glowing ✨

THE most helpful youtube chanel ever

This was so helpful! I am in my last semester of university now and am trying to get a few offers in NYC! I have a "soft" offer from two internships there but am hoping to get a few more through interviews so I can better negotiate and get the best job for me and my values! I haven't looked through all of your videos yet since you posted this one, but I would love to see how negotiating offers could go down. I feel like benefits are not very negotiable, but pay would be a big one for me! Dream company at the moment is Gensler in a workplace design studio.

this is incredibly helpful! thank you so much

Wow, great advice 😊. Thank you so much. I thought these were going to be obvious tips, I am so glad I clicked this video 🌸.

Your videos are always so helpful. Thank you!

Such useful tips!! Thank you!

I just graduated I needed to hear this!

I am obsessed with you. Working at Adobe is literally a dream of mine.

Number 9 applied to me - I studied business and two foreign languages at university and had spent time living in each country those languages are spoken. Turned out the hiring manager for a job at a company I have always wanted to work at lived in the country of one of the languages while working for this company and has descent from the other and also speaks that language. I had a lot in common with the manager before I even got to the interview. it wasn't the only reason I was hired, but the point Katherine makes about working with this person 40 hours a week and can I get along with them is definitely relevant. I ticked that box with an advantage.

Katherout always knows what I need when I need it

Perfect Timing!

Yo this is awesome! Love your work! You really motivate me to make more inspiring videos for young people !! 😁👌

This video is awesome! I recently just graduated from UCI as a business admin major. Finished up 2 quarters early so hopefully this job search goes well. I've been applying for 3 weeks now. Looking for analyst roles

really love these post-grad videos!! def wanna see more

These are great tips!

love that setup!

Thank you for this video!

After make a word document that contains info from each previous job/future job you’ll ever work. You should include start/end date, any pay raises, manager contact info, address of business. This makes applying to future jobs 100% easier when you have to fill out previous job info

dream job: diplomat! I'm still a while away from graduating but I love watching videos like this to prepare myself for the future… it's never too early to start. also, my dad works for adobe in SF and I literally freaked out when I first figured out that you got a job there too! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy working there!

Need a lot more videos like this!

Yes yes I needed this! What about cover letters? I have spent hours writing them but idk what I’m doing

Thank you for sharing this.

This was really helpful

This was so helpful!! I want to teach or work at ESRI!

Great topic. :D

Wow! Thank you! I actually have a career fair tomorrow and will definitely use your tips! As for my dream career, I would love to be a buyer or work in the creative marketing area for companies like Target, Newell, and J&J!

I'm going to college this coming fall and I can't wait to use these tips in 4 years :)

You are AMAZING!

At the white house, or somewhere on Capital Hill doing communications work. I also wouldn't mind working for a tech, or financial corporation. I don't ever speak about this, but why not. I am stressed to be starting a major chapter of my life soon, life outside of school. Thanks for the tips ❤

I don’t have a dream company and maybe I should start on that. I just graduated college in May and looking for jobs has been an hassle. I apply to job here and there and take from their job description and highlight my experience in my cover letter

Loved this! I would love to hear your advice on salary negotiation. I'ma senior in college looking to work as an engineer in tech, but at bigger companies I notice the starting salary is usually standard.

Hey Katherine! I'm a rising senior in a business program (specifically information & analytics and marketing). When do you recommend starting the job hunt?

This is awesome. Especially about skill share. I had no idea. Thanks so much. I definitely subscribed now. And i would say one dream company for me would be the coke or pepsi company working in public relations or really any big named brand company or celebrity.

I seriously wish I made spreadsheets and tailored my resume for different positions 😣 Also I’ll be very likely getting potential job/interview offers soon so I’m praying good news in that department comes my way 🙏🏻

Dream Job: Working in the music industry at companies like Billboard, Spotify, Universal, Warner, Sony. I also like live music, so Live Nation as well :)

So helpful!

Currently a freshman in college right now and I def will keep these tips in mind for internships and post grad jobs as well I don’t have a dream company but would love to work for a young tech company

I’d love to see a video on how to accept an offer especially if there are two!! How to turn one down..?

Hi Katherout! I just found your RU-vid, and I've been binge-watching all your videos! I have one question to ask- How do you ask someone for a referral? I'm not sure what the correct way to word it is. Hopefully you see this :)

Dream job is doing neuroscience research on sensory perception and states of consciousness. My next step is grad school but I'm still debating a combined M.D./Ph.D program & if that would be a better fit for what I want to do 😅🤦‍♀️

Amazing :)

Yes queen go off 😻😻

I want to go into academia (just got a great scholarship for the masters I want), but my other dream is to work with an organization that deals with ethics in tech. Great and informative video!

Legit any job I could do with a bachelors in history while I try and figure out a school to get my masters

Finding a job right after college isn't just about qualifications. It's about trust. Once you meet the minimum standard of a few internships and a good enough GPA, everything comes down to whether you seem like someone who can learn quickly and like someone who has worked well with others in the past. If you can get people, especially those who know hiring managers at companies that you want to work, to vouch for your ability to learn quickly and ability to work with others, you'll be miles ahead. Hence why having a large network matters. The more people you know within an industry (especially people who have a reputation and/or have been in that industry for years), the better because chances are you might end up interviewing at a company where there's someone who knows someone who can vouch for you.

Hey Katherine, I got a Q. I'm participating in a study abroad this summer for 6 weeks in spain which has really cut into prime internship time. I was wondering what is your advice on how to get job experience while being in a foreign country as I am a junior?

What do you do when you have no internship experience?

I’m a senior in college and I graduate next year I know it’s too early to apply so should I screenshot the jobs I like ? And email companies letting them know I’d like to work for them once I graduate?

I just graduated college in April. I am going into the medical field. I have never had a job because. I have been getting so many job interviews, but no job offers yet. I need your advice.
