    For a future article, we at Quintessential Careers would like to hear from recent college grads about life in the "Real World," your transition from college to career, and your thoughts on what you wish you had known about job-hunting when you graduated.

    You'll have the opportunity to tell us whether you want to be quoted by name, quoted with partial information, or quoted completely anonymously.

    Please complete as much of the survey as you wish, and click on the Submit button when finished. Thanks for providing your valuable insights.

    Survey of your post-graduation experiences. For a future article, we plan to excerpt quotes from recent college graduates about your experiences since graduation. You can be anonymous, be quoted by name, or somewhere in between.
    1. Please tell us how you want to be quoted:
      Please quote me completely anonymously as “a recent college graduate.”
      Please quote me by college attended, year of graduation, and major

    2. Describe your journey to get where you are in your career.

    3. How difficult has it been to juggle work with family life?

    4. Are there things you wish you’d known about job-hunting when you first graduated from college? About salary negotiation? How hard was it to land a job?

    5. What was the most important factor in landing your first job after college (or in landing the job you currently hold)?

    6. What are the most important things to know about how to act, dress, perform, etc. in the early days of a job so don't fall on your face -- and actually get ahead? What's your best advice for new college grads just starting their first job after college?

    7. How well did your coursework prepare you for the work you’re doing? Are there any courses you wish you had taken to better prepare yourself for what you’re now doing?

    8. What are the most stressful elements of your job?

    9. Do you find that teamwork skills are demanded in your job, and did your college education prepare you?

    10. Have you completed or are you considering graduate school? Why or why not?

    11. What are the things they didn’t teach you in college that would have helped you launch the post-graduation phase of your life?

    12. What is the most important piece of advice you would offer to soon-to-be grads?


    Thanks so much for your help!
