With most videos on TH-cam, 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!
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
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!
I totally agree. The hardest part of this job search process for me is just speaking and writing in a more formal manner. I wish I could just pick up the phone and talk, without having to prepare each time!
I’ve been feeling insecure recently since I’m on my (probably) last semester, and then I’ll need to find a job right away. I’m worried that even if I get the job, I’m going to get fired pretty quickly.
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!
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
@@wallacerangel616 no you won't submit this to anyone, this document just makes filling out applications easier when you need specific information about previous jobs that you might not remember like phone numbers or the address.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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 :)
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
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 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 🙏🏻
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.
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.
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!!
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!
My dream job would be working in an archivist/collections position at the Museum of the City of New York. I love every single thing about the institution and working there would be an actual dream.
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 😅🤦♀️
I am a rising college senior because I almost accidentally acquired enough credits to graduate a year early. Very nervous and excited to start thinking about getting a job that uses my degree!
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
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!
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 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!
Hey Katherine! I'm a rising senior in a business program (specifically information & analytics and marketing). When do you recommend starting the job hunt?
I've been working with a career counselor and all we talk about is nepotism, networking, favoritism, cronyism and such. Ironic how tilted it is in a country that boasts of meritocracy.
I just graduated back in June! I studied Business/Marketing and Film. I'm currently working a remote job while living with my parents, but it's my ambition to move to NYC early next year, and my dream company to work for would be Refinery29!
Andin Dema i actually have some friends recently graduated and working there as well!!! All connections are appreciated though, and to answer your question risk assurance
Andin 007 hi I just came across this video and saw your comment. I’m a fall graduate and I’ve been dying to get a job at one of the big 4s! Would you be open to have a talk?
My dream job is UX researcher and I would love to work at IPSOS, Google, Or Facebook, I have a masters degree but still struggling to get my foot in the door. I would love to hear any recommendations or advice on how to get a job quick. Thanks
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.
Just graduated in December with my Associates. JUST chose to continue towards my bachelors!!! Classes start TOMORROW!!! 🙀 I’ve had multiple interviews but never get the second call back. I studied Medical Office Management at the A.S. level and now I’m going for Healthcare Administration. Help?!
My top 3 dream company to work at would be to work at Turner Broadcasting/Cartoon Network, Spotify, or maybe Instagram/Facebook. My dream position would be working for a fortune 500 based in Atlana doing sales, marketing, or social media!
Hi Katherout! I just found your TH-cam, 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 :)
I reached the only person i knew from a place i really wanted to work and she just left me on seen, even though i had a full conversation before .... what does that even mean? (I asked her if she knew any job positions in this place and she neveer answered, then i reached again and she never responded .... like why)
I do like your video is very helpful but one thing I don't like is how in order to find a job it seems that you have to ask for a favor or be "creep" about it even with degree etc.. It supposed to be equal opportunity I don't know the U.S. promotes a lot that side of fairness and the 5M jobs.
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.
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?
Yess this is the post-college content we need!

“Coming up on graduation”
Me, 2 months after graduating : “Ummm... Yeah!”
More like 2 and half years.

I totally agree. The hardest part of this job search process for me is just speaking and writing in a more formal manner. I wish I could just pick up the phone and talk, without having to prepare each time!
I’m so motivated to do all this yet so insecure to apply somewhere, get denied and get emotionally crashed
I got denied twice and got crushed for a whole year. I never thought I was insecure but this really got me down.
Just do it, man.
i got a good job now (after like 7 months lmao)😭
@@laspichulitas9962 Congrats!!

Advise for getting a job during/after COVID 😩
I’m suggesting that you should start a social media career
@@marcusofficial8441 that is horrible advice
Dream job: Screenwriting for Disney/Pixar, and maybe even voice-acting for animated films! :) great video!! SUPER helpful!
