Job hunting tips

Nouna · 6th January 2008

Network - Think of the people you know - relatives, friends, professors, classmates, co-workers at summer jobs, and others. Make them aware of your job search, to learn more about their jobs or their organizations, and to get the names of others who might be useful in your job search.
Make sure your résumé is targeted to the employers who receive it. Make sure your résumé is easy to read and the most important details stand out.
Be prepared - You should have a copy of your résumé with you at all times.

Create a contact database - Write down all the employers you contact, the date you sent your résumé.
Make a "to do" list every day - This will help you organize your list of priorities and keep you focused on finding that perfect job.
Learn how to talk about yourself - Throughout your job search, you will speak with many people at different levels. You must be comfortable having conversations about yourself with other people. Keep in mind that you never know who may end up being useful to your job hunt.
Find out all there is about employers in your field - Remain current on any issues or developments in the field, read trade journals or professional publications, and read the newspaper. It is extremely impressive during an interview if you know about the latest merger or coup in the industry.

Practice for each interview - Preparation is key to interviewing well. Friends, relatives, and career services counselors can help you formulate strong answers to questions you might not anticipate. Look at the list of possible questions on the interviewing tutorial ("The Interview") and prepare yourself.
Follow up with leads immediately - If you find out about a position late in the day, call right then. Don't wait until the next day.
Stay confident - Job hunting takes time and energy. Remain confident, but prepare yourself for challenges ahead. Don't get disgruntled if you are still looking for a job and it seems like everyone you know has an offer. Most students find their jobs after graduation, and even experienced job seekers often search for months before finding the right opportunity.
