Information for Students Seeking to Begin Their Careers
For students starting job searches, the three (3) tips below should be useful:
1. Network! Think of the people you know -- relatives, friends, professors, classmates, co-workers at summer jobs,
and others. Make more of an effort to meet with people, and use these conversations to ask their advice, to 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.
2. Create a contact database. Write down all the employers you contact, the date you sent your résumé, any contact made,
people you talk to, and notes about those contacts. Keep a notepad with you at all times -- take notes as soon as you hear
about an opportunity or when you leave an interview. Get into the habit of updating your database daily.
3. 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.
