Finding a Job Series – How To Get The Job You Want

Make new contacts. Making new contacts, also known as networking, isn’t just adding people to your Facebook list. There’s a strategic art to it. One method, especially before you graduate from college, is to meet with as many professionals in the field you’re studying in, as well as outside your field too. Basically try to meet as many professionals who are willing to meet. Once you’ve met, let them know the vision you have for where you want to go in your career, along with anybody they may be able to suggest that you meet with next. Get that list of folks and then reach out to them. If you find that you are beginning to benefit from this web of connections, be sure to thank all those who helped you make those connections. And remember, it is usually the connections that create the sudden opportunities to expand your career. Furthermore, this practice should not end once you’ve landed that big job. Keep going! This is especially true if you are hoping to move up in the field you’re working in.
