Job Search
Searching for a job is a job in itself. It can take up to 6 months to land the right position. It's important to set up reasonable goals and timelines. Treat your job search as a project with deadlines for each stage. Career Planning Checklist for JUNIORS Current Job Openings and InternshipsView chronologically as they are posted. Career PortfoliosCreating a career portfolio can be a great addition to your job search. A portfolio such as this contains the usual resume, certificates, degrees, etc., but also shows off samples of your work. Even if you haven't already worked in your career field, you can create samples of what you can do. This impresses an employer, both for your initiative and the ability to convince him or her that you can do the job. RecruitersBefore you land a new position, you must first focus your job search and determine what companies to target. Sometimes a recruiter can help you through this process. They can add value to your job search by providing access to a wealth of available opportunities, matching you with the best opportunities, helping you to get your foot in the door, providing resume and interviewing assistance, and assisting with salary negotiations.
