Networking

Networking might seem intimidating but reaching out to your connections for advice is an effective way to explore your career options, and often “who you know” will guide you towards your dream more than simply applying through job boards. Polishing up your elevator pitch and learning to conduct informational interviews are key to networking success!

Social Media

Social media is a key part of job hunting and hiring. It allows job seekers to learn more about potential employers and vice versa. In some cases, social media sites also offer their own online job boards, such as LinkedIn Jobs and Facebook Jobs. As a candidate, you should be mindful about what you post on social media (what impression are you leaving for a potential employer?) but you should also think of social media as a powerful tool to help in your job search.
