Did you know there are at least 10 different ways to search for jobs and internships?
I have added new link to write about job search and internship search for students. Students who are currently in school must have some exposure about job search and internship methods followed by their circle of friends. When job search is not done in the way it’s supposed to be done, students will usually end up giving the job search within 1 or 2 months and start looking for consultants.
Did you know?
I will be using job search and internship words interchangeably. Most of the student who are currently applying for student visa and admission have assumed that companies visit campus and they get job through campus placement. But, that’s not the actual case in majority of the universities. Students have to actively ( I would say pro-actively) search for jobs, else job search itself will look like a big task.
I knew few of my friends, who didn’t apply for any jobs and when their OPT period was about to end, they found some consultants to process the H1B visa. Also, I know few who didn’t even think about searching for jobs, after graduation they went to consultants and found some job through them. I always favored Permanent Employment then contract positions.
Job search is itself a full time job. Couple of my friends, when in their OPT period were very desperate to find a job and time was running out from their OPT period. They always get up early, start looking for jobs, and they had learned at what time email has to be sent to HR people, what modifications to resume to be done while applying for jobs and much more. Finally they got the job that they enjoy now, even after 3 years.
Current students looking for jobs will know how difficult is to get an interview call, but once they have that first interview, then things will fill in their way. But, getting that first interview call is that matters and it take lots of effort. But, there are so many different ways that are available that will help student to get the jobs and interview call much faster and much worry free way.
In the series of post, I will be discussing about different job search and internship search ways available and how to use them effectively. In mean time you can create an account with Yahoo Hot Jobs. I recommend Hot Jobs to other job search sites and will explain the reason in coming articles.
