Getting a job has very little to do with expertise. Activities are important to build team-building and leadership needed. Networking is also a key component when students are looking for a job. You don't want to focus 100 percent looking on the Internet or in newspaper when you'll only be tapping into 10 percent of the jobs available. Students are encouraged to begin networking as soon as possible to build contacts with professionals in their field.
Students can also research jobs by performing what is known as an information interview.
People love to talk about themselves. She also said the information interviews tell students more about the field they're interested in and can lead to job interviews later on. When a job interview does come up, it is important to research and prepare for it. White's advice is to treat the interview like an ad campaign - prepare to go in and sell yourself. Know questions they may ask beforehand, and pay attention to detail, she said.
