For each of the 15 statements, give yourself a score based on the following scale:

 

 

Not Sure	0 points
Started	3 points
Nearly Complete	5 points
Completed	7 points

 

Results:

 

Add up your points and determine your results. If you scored...

 

More than 92 points -- Top of your class! You are well-positioned for job-search success!

 

80-91 points -- A strong contender. Tweak a few things and pick up the pace and you should be in good shape for job-search success.

 

65-79 points -- Average work. It's going to take you longer to find a good job after graduation unless you pick up the pace.

 

Under 65 points -- Struggling. You need to quickly move forward with many of these elements of a successful job-search.
