Professional Tips via #JobHuntChat

We participated in #JobHuntChat on Twitter and got some great advice! Recruiters, professionals and job seekers attend the Q&A weekly chat (Mondays 10-11 p.m. EST) moderated by @Blogging4Jobs and @CornOnTheJob. 

We asked, “What’s your #1 professional tip for college students?”

Here are some of our favorite responses:
