Career Services understands that searching for a job can be stressful and what works for one person may not work for another. However, there are some tips and tricks that can help anyone in their job search process!

Regardless of your major, there are some components to consider:

• Know your product, and know your work values and skills
• Identify your interests and research your target industry
• Identify what skills add value to the jobs you are interested in

The better you know yourself and your target industry, the more successful you will be in your search.

Consider doing the following:

• Develop a tailored and targeted resume for your search. It is common to have multiple resumes to appropriately market your skills to the job description.
• Create a tailored cover letter, highlighting important skills and experiences not listed on your resume.
• Before your interview, research the organization to prepare questions.
• Think of who may already be in your network and take advantage of those who can help.
• In a way that works for you, keep track of where and when you applied so you’ll be able to follow up.
