College graduation is in full swing, and Ferretti Search has tips for recent graduates who need assistance navigating the job market.
Start early
Starting the job search early will only benefit you. Starting the process early gives you time to check out different opportunities, polish your resume, and sharpen your interview skills.
According to Jason Weingarten, co-founder and CEO of Talent Acquisition Software Yello, the most crucial job search advice for college students is to start early.
Social Media Presence
Social media can be a great tool to advance your job search. You can use these platforms to contact hiring managers and establish professional connections. This means taking advantage of platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.
“Students should not forget that some of these people on social media are potential employers and future colleagues. The best personal brands include a professional and appropriate online presence,” according to Alexa Merschel, U.S. Tax Talent Acquisition Leader at PwC.
Networking
Networking can look different for everyone. You can build a valuable professional network by joining relevant LinkedIn groups, getting involved in your alma mater’s alumni events, professional associations, and attending networking events/conferences.
Networking allows you to build relationships with professionals in your field. These relationships can provide insights into various industries, companies, and roles, as well as mentorship and guidance in your career journey.
Update Resume
Customize your resume and cover letter for each job application. Highlight relevant skills, experiences, and accomplishments that demonstrate your qualifications and align with the job description.
Focus on highlighting your best-selling points such as internships, volunteer work, extracurricular activities, and education. A strong resume will catch the eye of an employer.
