As many recent graduates will tell you, it's tough out there right now for your age group in the job market. Full-time jobs with benefits are very hard to come by, and most recent graduates will go several months to several years after graduating without ever finding a good job that fits them. If you don't want to join the part-time recent grads who still live with their parents, it's very important to prepare yourself for the job search a year or at least six months before you graduate.

An email message may carry the first impression you make on someone. In job search, that email message will probably be sent to someone who can help (or hinder) you in reaching your career goals. That first impression can advance or derail your opportunity to position the value you offer the employers you’re targeting. Poor grammar, typos, and a host of other email issues can disqualify you right out of the gate. Emailing is an integral part of job search communications. Don’t blow your chances.
