Job Seeking Advice For College Graduates
After spending many late nights studying at the college library
and hurrying to finish your term papers, you have finally
graduated and it is now time to search for full-timeemployment.
However, unless you have special training in a particular field,
many college graduates will have to search for entry-level
positions. The job search for an entry-level position is
oftendifficult, but having an impressive entry level resume can
help.
Beat The Rush
Well before your diploma has been handed to you it is important
to send in your entry level resume to as many companies as
possible. This would include researching companies that are
currently hiring and submitting your resume to the Human
Resources department or the person in charge of hiring.
Evaluate The Skills You Possess
As a recent college graduate, you might have few, if any
experience in the fields in which you are seeking employment.
This might entail you making a list of all the skills you
possess along with any training you might have received during
your college years. Any skill or experience such as Captain of
the debate team, or Vice President of the Student Government
Association should be
noted on your entry level resume. This can
help your to stand out among other entry level applicants.
Check Out Your College's Career Center
Once you have decided which of your skills to emphasize and have
listed them within your entry level resume, you can use these
skills to narrow down your search for a job. A great place to
start your search is at your college's career center. Many
career centers will have job listings of companies interested in
hiring college graduates, along with resources to help you write
your resume and help you land a successful job interview.
However, it is recommended that you not only submit your resume
to companies that have posted vacancies, but to other companies
you are interested in that might be hiring in the future.
Remember, the key ingredient in your job search is you. You must
decide what you want and start early to work to achieve this new
goal.
