The job search for both alumni and students is similar in many
ways, especially for alumni who have only been out of school one
to five years. For those more seasoned alums, there are further
things that can be done. However, all job searches contain some
important basic elements.
Students are conducting job search because they are just graduating
and therefore, don't have to explain why they are looking for
a job — including having quit, been laid off, or terminated.
Hopefully, students have had an internship or some career-related
experience and are competitive in their field of study. They can
participate in on-campus interviewing or apply for positions listed
on MU Career Manager .
So there are some built-in options for students. In addition,
they should check the papers, databases, websites, publications,
and professional journals for job vacancies. However, since 75%
of jobs are attained through networking, a student is wise to
network (using his or her own family, friends, acquaintances,
professors, etc.)
