Networking:

Don’t be shy about using your network of friends, family, family friends, and even acquaintances, when looking for a job. Everyone has been where you are, and most people are happy to help. Other sources for networking (or ways of expanding your network) include:

• Professional associations
  
• Campus associations - faculty, alumni, fellow students, etc.
  
• Other groups in which you are a member
  
• Volunteer groups (United Way and other politically advantageous organizations)
  
• Political groups
  
• Personal connections

Other Sources of Job Information:

Don’t rely strictly on your campus Career Center to find a job. Although they can be helpful, generally they are not going to help all, or even most, students find jobs. Other basic sources are:

• Classifieds: Both the local paper and other cities you’re interested in. Subscribe to their Sunday papers.
  
• The Internet:

  www.headhunter.net
  
• Career Centers on other campuses (share with students you know who attend other schools)
  
• Ask - Call companies where you have an interest, or look up their websites on the internet to see if they have information on employment.
