Subject: Need Assistance with Graduation Commitments
Hi everyone! I’m part of the graduating class this year, and my school has announced that all official commitments need to be finalized by next month.
They provided examples such as military enlistment, college acceptance, or job offers.
I’m a bit confused about how to secure an official commitment for the job or career I’m interested in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Graduation card question! When you sign up for your classmates’ grad cards, do you include your address, or is it understood that they will just give them to you at school? I’ve never been a senior before, so I’m a bit confused. Do seniors typically give grad cards to their classmates? Please let me know! […]
Prom Dilemma So, my prom is this Saturday (March 8th), and I asked my friend—who I’ve known since 8th grade—out on February 25th (which was a Tuesday), and she said yes. Yesterday, I tried to discuss our plans for the day leading up to the dance, but we couldn’t come to a decision. She didn’t […]
I’m looking for some advice! In two days, I need to finalize my schedule for next year, but I’m unsure about which classes to choose.

Congratulations on nearing graduation! It sounds like an exciting time for you. To secure an official commitment for a job or career, here are a few steps you can take:
Job Offer: If you’ve applied for jobs, focus on landing a formal job offer. This typically involves interviews and receiving a written offer letter from the employer. Be clear about your start date in the letter to ensure it aligns with your graduation timeline.
Internships: If you haven’t landed a full-time job yet, consider applying for internships. Some internships can lead to job offers after graduation. Make sure to ask for a letter of intent or confirmation of your position, stating that you will be working with them after graduation.
Letters of Intent: If you are in the process of interviewing, you can request a letter of intent from any employer you’re in talks with. This letter should clearly outline the job offer and your expected start date.
Networking: Communicate with professionals in your desired field about potential opportunities. Sometimes, connections can lead to job opportunities that result in an official commitment.
Offer Letters from Employers: When you receive a job offer, ask for it to be put in writing. This document will be your official commitment.
Career Services: Don’t hesitate to reach out to your school’s career services department. They can offer guidance on securing job offers and may even have exclusive connections with employers looking for new graduates.
If you have specific companies or fields in mind, start reaching out and applying now to maximize your chances of obtaining that official commitment! Good luck, and enjoy your graduation celebrations!
