How do you guys find jobs?

Question

What's the most common way of finding a job? Does your counselor help you out after you graduate, newspaper ads?? It seems like the internet is kinda limiting and arbitrary.

Answer 1

Honey, you go out and look for one, you can search online, on the newspaper, you can place your add on the newspaper saying what you do and that you are looking for a job, you can google it, you can ask your counselor for help, I am sure he/she will without you having to ask even! Good luck and I hope you get a wonderful job, where you will be happy and well treated at and make lots and lots of money and I hope it brings you nothing but happiness! I like you name SARAH, it is pretty!

Answer 2

Doesn't your school have a Career Placement Center of some sort? They should be able to help you with this. I wouldn't ignore the internet, but don't make that the only method you use. You can go to job fairs, send out your resume to organizations you are interested in, do informational interviews, internships which might lead to jobs, and any number of other things. Then the internet can supplement this; there are a lot of job sites out there, depending upon what you want to do after you graduate.

Answer 3

Professional associations for your field often have job listings on their websites and a place to post resumes at their annual meetings. Sometimes you can even get job interviews during conferences. If your advisor has any real-world job experience, you did an internship, or you were able to make any other connections in your field, talk to those people about the best way to job hunt for your particular field. Even if you will be hunting for a job in a different geographic area from the one where your connections are, talk to your connections. People know each other. Find out who does the job you'd like to have for a company you'd like to work for someday and call or email them. People who are happy in their careers are almost always willing to take a few minutes to talk to someone who is just getting started and give them some pointers.

When I got close to finishing grad school I got in touch with everybody I knew who was in my field or a closely related field. Most of those people weren't hiring, but they gave me the names of other people to talk to and told me to use their name when making the contact. I talked to everybody who would answer their phone or an email, all of whom were really nice. I was offered a job within 4 months, before I graduated.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Best way is word of mouth (you hear about a job from someone, or somebody tells you that so-and-so has a position to fill). Otherwise, send out lots and lots of resumes. Expect about 1 positive response (opportunity to interview) for every 20 resumes. Get your counselor to help design a good, effective resume. No weird colors, pictures, fonts, etc.

Answer 5

It's really tough to get your first job. Tell everyone you know/meet that you're looking. Make plans to meet your older friends who already have jobs for lunch and ask to see their office. Introduce yourself to everyone there. It can't hurt. Talk to your neighbors. In the mean time, get a job at Starbucks or something to pass the time, make a little cash and meet more people!
