Searching for a Job
When you are ready to begin your job search, there are a couple of questions you'll want to ask yourself:
- Am I willing to relocate for a job (e.g.local, national, or international)?
- Am I looking for entry-level jobs or jobs at a more advanced level?
- Am I interested in working for a particular company or organization?
Your answers to these questions will help guide you when searching for a job. For example, if you are want to work for a non-profit company, you'll need to be more selective in your job search and possibly search in specialized areas.
Another good option is to search industry-specific job boards and check out jobs posted by professional organizations in your field. You can also try networking or using social media to find jobs that are available.
