Advice for English Majors
Network and interview as much as possible!!! I made the mistake when I graduated thinking this one job was just going to take me and did not realize they would back out at the last minute. Also, be persistent. Do not feel that just by clicking a button on-line is actually applying to a position, follow up until you get face time with the company you are interested in interviewing with. DO NOT rely on OU’s career center. Instead, have a professional look over your resume and cover letter. I found my resume was not nearly up to par until a family friend looked at my resume and helped reconstruct it. It all boils down to who you know and having the confidence in yourself to get where you need to go. I know I still have a few more steps to take until my dream job, but at least I am now going in the right direction.
