Dr. Osama Aljarrah: As someone who deeply cares about my students' success beyond graduation, I strongly recommend seeking a mentor. Choose someone you respect and whose career path inspires you—whether it's a teacher, manager, or even a family member. A good mentor can offer invaluable guidance and support as you navigate the early stages of your career.
Louis Rocconi Ph.D.: Create a portfolio of projects that showcase your skills and abilities. This portfolio will not only assist you during the interview process but also provide you the ability to reflect on your past projects, facilitating continuous learning and growth. Finally, know your worth and be prepared to negotiate. Do some research to understand what a competitive salary range would be for your position. Ask your professors, recent graduates from your program, and other industry professionals. Finally, research negotiating skills to ensure you are ready when the offer comes.
Dr. Sunhyung Lee: Develop strong communication and analytical skills, as the ability to convey complex economic concepts clearly and interpret data accurately is crucial in the field. Even starting with the small things, you will be surprised to see how many students cannot write proper emails.

Dr. Jacqueline Holland EdD, CFCS: In the next 3-5 years, skills such as data analysis, digital literacy, and adaptability will become more important and prevalent in the field.
Brett Zollinger Ph.D.: Fully utilize the advice and resources of your university's career services office. Build a skills and experience portfolio that is error free. Use that portfolio as your LinkedIn profile or to update and bolster your LinkedIn profile. During the job search, customize every application to the organization's mission, goals, and responsibilities listed in the job ad. Network - tell friends and relatives that you are searching for jobs. Yes, this may yield a lot of notifications for positions in which you're not interested, but it's far better to have many than few leads. If it comes down to holding out for the "perfect position" accepting offer(s) that are more tangential to your interests but are still using your academic knowledge and training, do not hold out for perfect! Sometimes it's not easy to see the many avenues for growth and for realizing your full potential to contribute to an organization before you start. Also, if it turns out that you, indeed, want to keep searching after landing the first position, go for it.
