Applying for jobs
The job search and application process can often be tedious, but it is necessary to get the job that fits your personality, passions, and goals!
Where to find job openings:
Online job sites: Explore sites like Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor.
Company Websites: Check the career sections on the websites of companies you’re interested in. Depending on the company, sometimes it is appropriate to walk in and ask if they are hiring.
Networking: Use personal connections or attend job fairs
Other tips:
Apply to multiple jobs at once. Don't wait on "that one opportunity" because you may miss out on another!
Know your audience. Make sure your application and resume reflect the audience you are sending your materials to.
Don't be afraid to promote yourself! You should be speaking highly of yourself and your skills on paper or in person in a professional manner. Employers love to see a confident applicant!
It is okay to contact the employer to follow up on the status of your application or interview if you don't hear back. Just make sure you give them plenty of time to review and discuss. A week is usually safe.
