These past three weeks have probably been the most important weeks in our college education. We all have the same common goal-to find the "perfect" career. We need to be able to market, lack of better words, ourselves to convince the employer that we are the one, the one to take their company to higher levels!
First we have to "advertise" ourselves. Best way is by a resume'. You have to be able to sell yourself. But yourself out there are the best, no doubt about it! I had a "remember back in high school business class" type of resume' that need some extreme updating.
Second, where to advertise. There are such web-sites as LinkedIn, Monster, and Indeed that you can advertise yourself. Post your resume' and let employers find you. Or you have the option go "going and getting it" (like a telemarketing) go to the employer with your resume'. My sister actually convinced me on joining LinkedIn prior to the assignment. She received a job opportunity within weeks of being on there and I've found groups that I have similarities to and really enjoy holding discussions with.
Third, the "hiring", an interview and being added to the team. Convince then there is no other candidate, you are it! (Don't forget appearance is the first impression!)
Three simple steps that can be life changing, three simple steps that we all strive for.
Good luck, class on your career adventures!
