Gap Year
Trying new things and meeting new people can expand your horizons and give you new perspectives on your personal strengths, interests, and skills. Most organizations value applicants who have significant experience outside of the classroom, and the perspective that comes from living outside the supports of college life.
If you are having difficulty securing full-time work, volunteer or internship experiences can help you continue to build skills, as well as your professional network. Developing or improving on these valuable transferable skills is a 'positive' to most employers. A recent graduate who makes the most of their gap year experience appears motivated and resourceful, so give it a try!
