Many of us are college seniors and are working on obtaining that first job. While this may not be an easy task, there are many resources that we have available to us: the career center, careerweb, our professors, our classmates, our parents, etc. But what I always wonder is how would I go about getting a second, third, fourth or hundredth job once I've already left school.Of course, you can post on sites like monster.com, but those always seem like your trying to find a needle in a haystack. WSJ blogger Henry Chalian talks about the methods that he is using to secure one of his subsequent jobs. Relying on financial recruiters, Chalian commenced is job search. However, as he found out, recruiters are not always as helpful as they lead on.
Whenever you may start looking for a second job it is important that you make as many bets as possible, hold on to those social networks and contacts, and cross your fingers for good luck.
One of the great perks of the Kogod Center for Career Development is that you can continue to use the career services available there after you graduate. As the economic decline, several alumni came back to the KCCD for help with career management.

ReplyDeleteI think meeting people and getting that human connection is your best bet on getting a job, job fairs etc. Talk with the recruiters make an impression.
