Graduation may be months away - but your job search is now!

In this challenging economy, you need strategies and resources beyond the obvious. Your search will probably take longer and involve more contacts than you think. 然而, by following these guidelines and implementing these three critical steps you will have a successful search:

• The most successful students gain some experience and do some planning before applying for professional positions.
   
• The key to job search success is to treat the entire process like a business. You are currently in the "Job Hunting" business.
   
• Sending out a bunch of resumes or attending a career fair isn’t a strategy. Instead, make a plan and work it!
   
• 早点出发. 搜索 deliberately and consistently. Treat job search like a class – set aside days and times, assignments, due dates. 组织 and track your steps and results!
