Don´t confuse a compound sentence with a compound predicate. A compound sentence has at least two independent clauses, each containing a subject and a predicate.
Susan finished college, and she is looking for a job.

A compound predicate contains one subject and at least two predicates.
Susan finished college and is looking for a job.

A comma is not needed with a compound predicate.
