Graduates in the publishing industry are diverse. They have never performed a job search for anything more than a temporary or part-time position during their breaks from school. Indeed, many graduates have left the university unsure of their professional situation and performed a job search that is often unfocused. There are random applications with an unwieldy CV in hand that can lead to frustrations and in the end, they might just settle for a job that they do not like. However, there is no reason to fret about it. What is important if you are looking for a publishing job right now is to focus your job search to fit your personal and professional needs.

Publishing graduates should also keep track of the applications and CVs that they have submitted to companies in their job search. Especially in this day and age of online job sites, a graduate can sometimes send off dozens of applications per day without having any thought as to the name of the company or the job description of the position. This can be confusing when these companies start to schedule job interviews. One of the ways to keep track of your applications is to create a chart detailing when the application was sent and the schedule of the interview if applicable.
