How to Land Your First Job

Employers are often looking for experience, but you can’t gain experience until someone takes a chance on you. This video gives students critical information on what they can do to tip the scales in their favor as they try to obtain their first meaningful employment. Recruiters, managers, job seekers, and those who have already found their dream job all offer their perspectives on the job-search experience.
