Google the article “8 Job Search Tips From the Co-Founder of Linkedin”. It has great job search info. A comment on that article says:
“People (employers) like people who are busy, confident, rich with experiences and a positive viewpoint on life – you can’t communicate that from the bench.”
“Job search is about connecting what you do best with the companies you want to do it with…..not about randomly applying for jobs in a CV (resume) dump across Linkedin.”
“Job success comes from the degrees closest to you….so the people you really know (and who know you ) are your BEST chance of securing a job (1st degree), when these people introduce you to new people who can help you on your journey (2nd degree) you’re still closer to job success than meeting with Headhunters, Corporate Recruiters (3rd degree) or the worse catchment: jobs advertised (4th degree).”
Sounded like good advice to me! If you have found good job search advice, please post on Gustavus Career Facebook wall.
Also, if you have time in the next couple of days – go on InterviewStream and do a practice interview – to help us win Mock Interview Madness! Gustavus is in the Sweet 16!
