Begin your search in the Billie Harty Counseling and Career Services Center.
Investigate opportunities.
o Don’t overlook company web pages.
§ Not only do they provide information about job opportunities, but the directory lists the names of people you may contact. Having a specific name makes a “cold call” much easier to do.
o Activate your network.
§ Referrals from people you know is one of the most successful methods in the job search process.
Research the company/organization.
o The following are a few of the many useful resources:
§ Hoover’s Online
§ Dun and Bradstreet
§ VAULT
§ Fortune’s list of 500 biggest U. S. companies
§ Forbes’ list of best small companies
§ Industry Week’s list of 100 best managed U. S. companies
§ Standard and Poor’s Register of Corporations, Directors, and Executives
Target your resume to the specific job/position that you are seeking.
o Deliver your resume in person, if possible. (You may get an interview on the spot.)
Prepare for the interview.
o Choose examples of accomplishments that illustrate your abilities.
o Practice the interview process with the career center staff.
Promptly follow up with a thank you note and later with an email or a phone call.
