Job Opportunities
As you begin to apply, keep in mind these general ideas:
- The same job titles and skills can be described in different ways at different companies. Read advertisements closely and think about how your experience can translate to what is needed. Don’t get hung up on specific words – think carefully about all the different ways your skills and knowledge can be described.
- Getting the perfect job takes time and dedication. As much time as you put into perfecting your resume is the minimum amount of time you should spend searching.
- Begin applying about 3-5 months before graduation. It really does take recruiters that long to get to you.
- Resumes are short and summarized. CVs are longer and more detailed. Check out our career center for insights on a strong, outstanding resume.
- More companies are looking into your social media profile before even calling you. Make sure you're up to date!
- Networking activities happen on campus regularly. Check Handshake and sign up for alerts.
