Keep Learning and You Will Increase Your Chances of Getting a Job

Learning continually is essential to ensuring your success in the job market. You can find a lot to help you grow your skills through free videos and podcasts online and through free classes at the library. Your library card will also allow you free access (often from home) to expensive databases that you can use as resources in your job search. Your librarian is also a valuable source for finding information. One of the most valuable things I learned is college is that the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked.

Consider taking university classes. You can take many of these online.

Join Toastmasters or take Dale Carnegie courses to hone your public speaking and sales skills.

Keep abreast of current events and new advances in healthcare, business, and technology no matter what your field.

If you are in a technology field by the your third year of college much of what you learned in the first year will be obsolete.

Never stop learning and you will be much more marketable.
