Tips for the Job Search

1. START EARLYGive yourself plenty of time to work through your materials and set up your online searches.

2. ASK FOR FEEDBACKTo make sure your materials are at their best, get a second set of eyes to look over them just in case you missed something.

3. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
To prepare for job interviews, use a career coach to work out the kinks in your interview skills.

4. USE YOUR NETWORK
Let everyone around you know you're looking for a job. You never know which connections will make the difference!
