Start searching

Treat your search as if it is a full-time job. Be aware that it can take from 6 to 9 months to find an opportunity.  Students seeking a full-time job upon graduation and those seeking a summer internship need to begin the job search process during the fall semester.

• Track your contacts, interviews and job search activities. Plan to follow up after two weeks.
• Use the internet – Many job/internship search databases are available.  Try internships.com, careerbuilder.com, monster.com and simplyhired.com, or look through a list of ranked job sites and in-depth comparisons at Reviews.com.
• Want ads in newspapers and business publications can still be effective.  
• Develop a relationship with an employment agency. Job seekers should never have to pay a fee to reputable agencies.

Tap into the Hidden Job Market

Only 20 to 25% of available jobs are advertised openly. Many opportunities are in the “hidden job market.” Candidates are found through niche postings, like Eagle CareerNet, and “word of mouth” advertising. This is why building your network is so important.

• Check Eagle CareerNet for opportunities and recruitment/networking activities.
• Take the initiative to target the organizations of interest to you and reach out with a tailored cover letter and resume.
• Consider looking through business directories (Chamber of Commerce websites in your preferred geographic location, yellow page directories).
