Congratulations to the graduates from the class of 2022! For new to career professionals (and for current students thinking about their future career prospects), the job search process can seem over-whelming and often non-productive. So, here are a few tips:
1. Understand the roles, companies and industries for which you are applying. Start with research and informational interviews about roles, companies and industries that interest you.
2. Customize your resume, cover letters and other materials to the role. You don’t have to rewrite your resume for every job – especially when you have little or no experience. However, when possible, you should prioritize content that is relevant.
3. LinkedIn counts. If you are applying for roles online, you should have a compelling and complete LinkedIn profile.
4. Networking is the secret ingredient. Reach out to contacts, alumni and other hiring professionals at targeted companies to learn more and/or to bring attention to your application.
