Send the employer a tailored resume and cover letter. You can also call first to inquire about possible positions before sending resume and letter. This action shows interest, initiative, and sets you apart from other students. Consider working for temporary employment agencies. Investigate agencies and ask about job options.
Temporary jobs provide an opportunity to earn money, gain experience, and make networking contacts.
Speak with networking contacts to learn about career-related information and leads. Let them know what types of positions you are looking for. Follow-up with your networking contacts periodically. Watch for job and career fairs held on and off campus. Read the Career Center's Job Fair Career Brief.
