If you’re a new grad just entering the workforce, how can you land a job that pays enough to support you and will position you for future success? Here are six lessons from students who beat the odds and found solid jobs during those downturns. Be flexible with your goals. The more open-minded you are about the positions and sectors you look at, the more likely you’ll be to find a good fit. Treat your job search like a job. Consider finding a space to work from outside your apartment and don’t just go there when you feel like it. Make a schedule and arrive on time, just like you would at a job. Pursue opportunities in parallel. Successful candidates understand the law of large numbers — the more irons in the fire, the more likely you are to be successful. Build an informal network. Even where jobs get posted, building relationships and finding advocates at target companies ups your chances of getting hired. Tell your story effectively. Have mock interviews with your friends to practice. Focus on answering questions with an appropriate level of energy and confidence, eye contact (if you’re comfortable with it), a natural smile, and variation in voice volume, pace, and tone. Prioritize your physical and mental well-being. Some good practices include: Eating the right food to energize you, sleeping enough to feel rested, engaging in exercise or meditation to release stress, journaling to stay positive and maintain your mental health, and connecting with friends to remind you that you have support.

No matter what your age, you may, without realizing it, be enjoying the very last chapter of the relationships that matter most to you. Make it count.

A recent poll showed that Americans now value money more than patriotism, religion, community, or children. In fact, 69% of Gen Zs believe “money can buy happiness.” But as ever, money won’t make us fully happy. In fact, an improper relationship with money, one of attachment without enjoyment, can deeply handicap a person’s attempt to live a deep, meaningful human life. To flourish and craft lives of purpose, and develop a proper relationship with and attitude toward money, individuals should follow the following principles: Relegate money to its proper place. Money can be a great tool, but it’s not a goal in and of itself. Invest your money for impact. Choose to spend your money on experiences, not objects. Use your income to help others. Choose a job that you find meaning in, so you’re earning with purpose. Save for the freedom to work how and when you want as you age, not retirement.
