<p>One suggestion, when you get to Atlanta or St. Louis or wherever, consider setting up a series of informational interviews. Look up some alums of your college who live in Atlanta and are doing the kinds of things you would like to be doing. If you can’t find some alums, just start contacting people, it’s amazing what they’ll do if you ask. Even if they are several levels beyond the jobs you can realistically get right now, in fact ESPECIALLY if they’re several levels beyond, contact them and ask if they have time to sit down with you for an informational interview to talk to you about the industry in Atlanta and share some of their experience. Do not, underany circumstances, ask for a job during an informational interview, this is purely to help you better understand how the industry works and get tips from sucessful people within it. </p>
<p>Sometimes finding a job, especially a first job, comes down to knowing where the entry pathways are. That’s rarely apparent from the outside, but someone who’s gotten in and been successful can usually explain them to you. They may be able to shed some light on the kinds of businesses that are currently hiring and the kinds of positions you’re realistically qualified for. Just knowing that can give you a really firm footing to start your job search in earnest and to do it efficiently.</p>
