Newsworthiness and Audience: This story will report on how to find that first job and how often college students experience and who they know gets them the job of their dreams. In my story I would like to discuss networking and maintaining relationships. The best job may come from the people that you know and it is important to keep work relationships professional and flourishing. This story is a common interest piece that could reach college students and employers as well as anyone making a employment transition.
