YOU’VE GRADUATED IN A PANDEMIC, NOW WHAT? SALLY ESPINOSA
First of all, congratulations! I think since graduating college is an expectation nowadays, people in general don’t give you the attention and praise you deserve. So, start by patting your own damn back. Unfortunately, it’s like 2008 all over again. Jobs are scarce; the world is weird, and you just graduated in the hopes of finding a job in a pretty bad economy. Except, it’s 2021. Almost everyone has been working from home for over a year, and a lot of companies are not hiring. You were probably also robbed of an actual graduation and instead “attended” a virtual one. graduated in May (and luckily my university had an in-person graduation for the first time since the pandemic started), so I’m right there with you in panic mode. Because of the horrible economy we are currently experiencing, I started to think about what I’m going to do once I graduate and frankly am already doing. Below are five things you should do right away if you’re graduating soon or have already graduated.
