(40 points)Text 1 College graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search.This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career pathor those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work.
