Dear Elder,
With college students graduating, I know that many of them will be on the hunt for new jobs. My question for you is what advice can you give to some of these graduates? Do you have any tips for finding and landing the perfect job? What advice or recommendations could you give them as they look toward their bright futures?

Dear Curious College Graduate,
The best advice I could give to someone regarding their future career would be to concentrate on being the best person you can be: honorable, dependable, hard working, etc. Being the best you can be and having a ’good name’ for yourself will help to take you any and everywhere in life. What I have also learned about landing an ideal job is to first research the company you will be interviewing with, such as the name of potential bosses or CEOs. Be knowledgeable about the position and company you are interviewing for and attend your interview prepared with strong interviewing skills, such as good eye contact. Know how to market yourself and what you can bring to the company. Make the employer believe in you and want you for the position!
