If you are researching job opportunities, specific tips will help you succeed. Watch the video to the end for valuable advice about an effective job search.
Researching job opportunities might be overwhelming. Play this video to get three top tips that will make things easier. You'll hear from Markella Lundbye, senior talent acquisition sourcing specialist at Raytheon Technologies, who shares some insights that will be very helpful for your next job hunt.
Focus when researching job opportunities. Tip #1: Identify your career goals. If you're a recent grad and a little uncertain about what you want to do, that's fine. Try to eliminate things you know you don't want to be doing. If you have doubts, reach out to the company. Find out more about what they're offering, what the opportunity involves, and what your day-to-day would look like.
Researching job opportunities requires compromise. Tip #2: Dedicate time to your search. This is not something that's going to happen overnight. And if you are actively looking for an opportunity, that should be your full-time job. Dedicate a certain number of hours to your job hunt, maybe certain days of the week. Don't stop until you have a few interviews lined up with several companies. That way, you always have a backup if one doesn't pan out. Many online tools can assist with your search if you have limited time. If something comes to your email that interests you, be quick. Positions that get posted don't stay out there for very long.
If you are researching job opportunities, people can help! - Tip #3: Make networking part of your life
While online resources are great, you also have events such as job fairs, which can be extremely beneficial. Jobs fairs have the added advantage of meeting the team face-to-face, and, very often, they will also have immediate interviews. Hand out your resume to the various companies that attend. Take advantage of career offices. If you're a recent grad, approach the career services office at your university. They can be extremely helpful in helping you decide your next career move.
