Networking
Many jobs are not advertised through traditional channels. In fact, up to 75% of jobs are found through word of mouth or referrals. A good network of contacts gives you access to this hidden job market.
Expand your network with friends, lecturers, workmates, fellow students, club and society members, employers and members of your sports team. Some of these people may already work in your industry, or know someone who does.
Through networking, you can seek out opportunities, connect with people you know, make new connections and learn more about an industry as you pursue your dream job.
Know your personal brand
When networking, you need to consider your image. What impression do you want to create for potential colleagues and employers? How you present yourself, both in person and in writing, is the most direct way you can make an impact.
If you’d like to work on your personal brand, check out:
