Read your target company's annual report and news articles. Tailor your cover letter and resume for each job opportunity. According to Taunee Besson, president of Career Dimensions, this helps to show what you have to offer against what the employer really wants. Be assertive and conscientious. Timely responses to news of a job opening or new contact name are beneficial.
Job searches take time and organization.
Be confident when contacting a potential employer. Follow through on your promises. Write prompt thank you notes for any information shared or interviews received. Use diverse methods for identifying job openings. Traditional job search methods include targeting posted positions or specific employers, interviewing on campus, attending career fairs and consulting employment agencies.
