This spring, an estimated 1,606,000 students graduated with Bachelors degrees (NACE, 2014). Though some of these graduates will pursue further education, many of the over one million members of the Class of 2014 are starting to transition from full-time students to full-time employees.
Armed with a degree and some prior intern experience, these new alumni should know all they need to be a successful employee, right? As a recent graduate, I, along with my peers, can only hope that our educations will serve us well in the coming weeks, months and years of work. In my past two weeks working as an intern for PAN Communications, I've noticed that there are some things I never learned in the classroom, and identified several key differences between being a student and employee that it’s hard to prepare for at school.
