Here are some tips for job hunters.

How do you land that job after college?

Katie Diekman, 22, is looking forward to a “gap” year after graduating with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan in May.

Diekman, who majored in women’s studies and history, wants to find a job in the nonprofit field to fill that gap.

“For a lot of people, it’s really overwhelming,” Diekman said. “It’s still very hard and frustrating looking for jobs.”

Diekman is doing an unpaid grant writing internship at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washtenaw County. She’s also working weekends at The Produce Station, a gourmet market in Ann Arbor. Eventually, she wants to go to graduate school to become a professor in women’s studies.

But she wants to work in the nonprofit sector right now before committing to grad school. If she doesn’t find better paying work, she plans to move back home to Farmington Hills and live with her parents for a while.
