Figuring out where to go is an important component in your post-graduate process -- you could return home to save money, go abroad, move to a city and start a job or go back to school.

If you decide to jump right into the job world, then the first notions to take are perfecting your resume and getting it out there, building an online presence and networking. Pursuing post graduate study is also a great route, as it can enhance your employability, increase expertise on a subject, open doors and improve chances for a higher salary.
