Additional steps that you can take. Become a member of professional associations. Some people choose to attend job fairs, read magazines, newspaper ads, and trade journals. When reading newspapers, it is important to read articles in addition to reviewing job advertisements. If an article that is of interest to you discusses new projects being undertaken by an organization, you can take that to mean that the employer might need to hire new staff.
Some students explore the option of using employment agencies.
If you are thinking about this seriously, be sure to use a reputable company. If you know of a student, with a similar level of experience, that has used the particular employment agency successfully, that is a good indicator. You should not be asked to pay for the service of an employment agency. If you use an agency, it would be preferable to use one that specializes in your area. You should spend some time speaking with a representative of the agency before making any commitments so that you can get a feel for the types of companies that they represent and to see if the jobs for which they recruit are the kind of jobs that you are interested in.
