I am a career development/resource geek and I wear that banner proudly, so it is with no shame whatsoever that I tell you I am in love with this blog post. Only a true career geek could say she is "in love" with such a blog post, but I digress.
I worry when I see recent undergrads considering grad school right out of the gate. Especially in this economy (blech, who else is sick of hearing that phrase?). From my vantage point as a recruiter, I cannot say enough how important it is to get out there, get your foot in the door, and gain experience. This experience can be in the form of internships, part-time work, or a serious career move in your field of interest. Employers want to see experience on your resume and that you have produced tangible results therein.
Before considering grad school, do run through Coplin's checklist to see if it is the right move for you.
