Reflection: Why are you on a Job Search?

No one wants to work at a dead-end job that they hate for the rest of their lives, so reflecting on what you consider to be the most important attributes of a job is essential. Think of what you consider to be fulfilling and where you can use your skills.

What is your dream job? Think of the career that you wish to pursue and where you want to be later in life. All of these thoughts are common and important for deciding who you want to be now and much later.

 

Networking: Meet People

Meeting with anyone and every one has its perks, especially in college. This sets up future references for jobs and people who can possibly even set you up with a job. It also is important to meet with individuals that can guide you in the right direction.

Having minimal social connections can hinder your list of opportunities.

 

Better Resume = Easy Job Search

Having a resume that stands out from the crowd is how you can get your foot in the door to many places. Although this is only the first step in obtaining interviews, it is one of the most important in regards to first impressions.

Therefore, meeting with a professional that can critique your resume and give advice on areas of improvement can be extremely insightful. Strong resumes are vital to the professional business world.

 

Investing in New Attire

Coming to a job interview dressed inappropriately presents a lack of professionalism. Furthermore, it can sway your interviewer away from hiring you. Appearance says a lot about a person, therefore making sure that you are dressed to the best of your ability will show your employer that you care about the job and have respect for the workplace. 

Dressing appropriately gives you some control of the conversation, they will want to listen to you.
