As we begin improving our website for the 2013 Fall semester, we will be changing most of the features you are used to. If you have any questions or comments, please send an e-mail to our web editor at jeh6j@mtmail.mtsu.edu. Reporting broken links, errors, and issues will help us improve the site and offer an easier experience.
1. Assessing your interests, values and skills
Your first job out of college is the first of many experiences you will have. In a recent longitudinal study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, individuals held an average of 10.8 jobs from ages 18 to 42, with the majority of the jobs being held before age 27. (In this report, a job is defined as an uninterrupted period of work with a particular employer.) The skills you develop early on will lay the foundation for future career successes.
