Tips for Job Seekers During a Recession
We are living in a time where people are losing jobs rapidly. While this is terrible news, they have to figure out what to do next. The answer, of course, is to find other job opportunities. You could say that laid off employees need to take a similar approach to recent college graduates searching for entry level jobs.
I read an article that offers tips to people who have been laid off. However, some of these tips can also apply to entry level job seekers who have finished college.
Network like crazy – Inform your personal and professional contacts that you’re looking for a job.
Polish your resume – Highlight any accomplishments on your resume that are relevant to potential employers.
Start the search – Use all available resources in your job search such as the Internet.
Take care of yourself – Don’t stress. Finding a job takes time, so keep a positive attitude.
College graduates and unemployed workers may be at different career levels, but both groups can take similar advice when it comes to finding entry level jobs or other positions. The question for everyone is: will the recession get you or will you get the recession?
