Get experience—

天空之城

What this means is, you need some real-world experience before graduation. Although you won't learn everything about the workplace with an internship or co-op assignment, you can build many of the skills employers find lacking. An internship, for example, is not just an opportunity to gain experience, but it's also a setting for you to learn professional behavior, learn what it means to work in a team, and practice interpersonal communication. An internship or co-op position helps you see the professional skills employers seek in action—and helps you learn how to fit into the world of work.

Plus, hands-on experience may lead to a full-time job offer. Employers say they look within their own student programs to recruit new graduates. In addition, many employers said they offer higher salaries to new graduates who have any co-op or internship experience than they do to those who do not have that experience.

Further, practical experience is an element that employers will look for on your resume—whether it is with their organization or another. While employers prefer "relevant" work experience, having any work experience is better than no work experience. If you get this valuable experience before graduation, you'll have a distinct advantage over job candidates who lack the experience.
