It is recommended that you make yourself known to the organization s hiring director even before an opening exists. Networking, of course, plus sending your resume and following up with a phone call to ask for an informational interview. Many of the web pages include information about current job openings, or at least the names and contact information of key people at the organizations. Using these web pages to gather information is easy, fast and inexpensive. Contacting organizations via e-mail is also a quick, easy and inexpensive way to make initial inquiries about possible job openings or application procedures.
Many organizations now have on-line applications to speed up the process.
Job listings can be accessed easily through many sites on the Internet, many of which can be accessed via our Career Services web page . Some of these sites include all types of listings that can be searched by location or job type. Other sites contain listings of jobs in one or more particular disciplines, such as science or art related jobs. The Internet is also a very useful tool for broadcasting during your job search. Many people now post their resumes on the web, sometimes for specific opportunities, other times in hopes that an employer will locate theirs while using the Internet to search for good employees.
