[Insert expletive], I need a job!
Posted by kriringa on June 1, 2009
Feeling like this guy lately? Whether you’re a graduating senior or an undergrad desperately seeking a part-time job or internship, know that you’re not alone.
Here’s some things to remember while on the job search:
- Anxiety building up? Check out ” Fear to Career: How to manage your job search stress” today at 1pm in 114 South Hall. Dr. Carlos Canales and Lisa Sanders will give some great insight as how the economy, job market, family expectations, and graduation may be hindering you in the process
- Check Aggie Job Link 4570x a day? (If you don’t have an Aggie Job Link account, sign up here) Broaden your search; try not to be specific. Also, try to look just by different keywords (i.e. searching under “marketing” or “finance” or just “intern.”) or change the industry
- Apply for work at a temp agency! “Whoa Kris,” you might think, “a temp agency?” Well, whatever pre-conceived notions you have you should just put aside now. If you’re not getting hired, why rule this option out? Actually, temp agencies are a pretty good deal – you’ll get to develop your computer or administrative abilities and use those transferable skills toward a future job or internship. It sounds a lot more legit that you’ve developed those computer skills while working with a company as oppose to… typing up your latest 5-page paper. Check out local temp agencies here.
Good luck with the job search & finals!
Warm regards,
