Tell everyone you meet about your goals and what you
want to do. You can never tell who they might know
Don't be afraid to pick up the phone and call an
employer. What is the worst thing that can happen? They can say "No."
Big deal
Always get a contact name. Cover letters addressed
"To Whom It May Concern" will probably end up in the trash
There are no perfect interview answers. Employers
simply want to see if you can hold an intelligent conversation
Don't
worry if your grades are less than stellar. Employers don't care if you made a
C+ in History during your sophomore year. They want people who are bright and
willing to learn
Be persistent. Don't take "No" for
an answer too easily. Employers are busy and may not have time to focus on you
You
MUST follow up
Treat secretaries and assistants with respect. They
hold the real power
Be yourself
Mass mailing 500 resumes and waiting for the phone to
ring is not a job search
