Effective Job & Internship Search Strategies According to various surveys and articles, there are three complementing strategies for job search... Source: The Career Center, University of Washington

Starting the Job & Internship Search Online  Explore job postings  HuskyJobs  LinkedIn  Employer Websites  Industry Specific or Professional Organization sites Web Resources, USAJobs.gov Web Resources  General job sites Indeed.com Idealist.org

Research Employers  Research Employers  Puget Sound Business Journal (Careers has free soft copies)  LinkedIn (company pages, groups, alumni connections)  Media  Career Fairs and Networking Events  LinkedIn – Company Directory  Informational Interviews

Employers Preferred Hiring Methods Employers Recruitment Methods Student Job Seekers’ Strategies Promote Qualified Internal Candidates Internships, informational interviews or personal connections Career fairs or networking events Interview candidates who made unsolicited applications Employment services Ads Networking Career fairs, Career Center, & info interviews Private & state employment services Targeted job search: Actively applying directly to employers of interest Job listings and want ads

Networking is KEY!  80% of job positions are in the “hidden job market” and never advertised – these positions are filled by word of mouth  Employers are more likely to bring in someone they know vs. those that they don’t  Start building relationships now… You Alumni Family/ Friends Professional Associations Professors Customers Students Career Counselors Employers

What is Networking?  Develop and maintain relationships  Exchange information  Make new connections  Everyone does it daily

Conduct Informational Interviews…  Informational Interviews  Learn from someone who is doing a job that interests you or is at an organization you want to know more about  It is a reverse interview  Ask them for advice  Go for coffee, lunch, dinner & pick up the tab  Do not ask for a job!  “What advice would you have for someone like me trying to get into a job like yours?”

How to Network…  Attend Career Fairs and Networking Mixers   Connect with alumni, classmates, professors on LinkedIn  Get involved in a student organization  Join a Professional or Networking Association  – This Seattle Networking Guide lists events and mixers to connect individuals and groups based fields of interest and goals

Utilize Resources  HuskyJobs: Job & Internship Listings Your one-stop shop for finding a wide variety of full- and part- time opportunities.  On-Campus Interview Program Believe it or not, employers want to talk to you - on campus! Learn more about this popular program, which draws over 300 companies and organizations to campus throughout the year.  Career Fairs & Events Hundreds of local, regional and national employers attend UW Career Fairs and events looking to connect with the UW's talent. Be sure to check our calendar for upcoming events.

Agencies  Temp agencies, headhunters, and professional recruiters can be effective in helping you secure employment.  Be cautious about paying for these services – the employers who are recruiting employees usually pay the recruiting fees.  Be sure recruiters know what types of positions interest you.  If you decide to use a headhunter or temp agency, continue using other job search methods as well.

Job sounds too good to be true? The Better Business Bureau advises job hunters to be on the lookout for these red flags:  Employer s that are rife with grammatical and spelling errors.  s purporting to be from job posting websites claiming there’s a problem with a job hunter’s account..  An employer asks for such extensive personal information as Social Security or bank account numbers.  An employer offers the opportunity to become rich without leaving home.  An employer asks for money upfront. The salary and benefits offered seem too good to be true. From Job sound too good to be true? Watch out for scams By Susan Salisbury / The Palm Beach Post, August 6, ams.html ams.html

The Power of the UW Network  LinkedIn helps you connect with potential employers and network with your classmates and more than 14,000 fellow alumni.  Fill out your LinkedIn profile today – and list “University of Washington Bothell” as your university!  Get in and get going today at washington-bothell-43610
