Job & Internship Search Strategies

Fundamental Truths of the Job Search

  • There are always jobs available.
  • The successful job hunter uses the most effective strategies.
  • Successful job-search is a learned skill, which can be studied and mastered—by you!

The Hidden Job Market

Most job openings are "hidden," that is, they are not posted anywhere. The only way to find them is by using informal job search methods.

Most Effective Job Search Strategies

  1. Identify specific job and employer targets.
  2. Network with everyone to reach target contacts.
  3. Pursue contacts for Informational Interviews.
  4. Follow-up every contact with a thank you note.
  5. Post your resume on specific target job boards.
