Finding a Job

Effective Use of Your Time
Because most jobs are found through networking, you should devote the largest part of your time to that activity. However, the 24-hour availability of the Internet allows you to make the most of nights and weekends when other avenues are unavailable. If you are interested in finance or consulting, on-campus recruiting should carry more weight in your time allocation.

Generally, you may want to apportion your job search time as follows: 40% networking, 30% Internet & CDO library research, 20% campus recruiting/career fairs, 10% ads and agencies. On a weekly basis, if you spend 10 hours per week on the job search, you would commit:
  • Four hours per week networking. Perhaps calling 5 alumni per week (use the Alumni Career Advisor Database in the CDO).
  • Three hours per week using CDO Site-ings, employer websites, and visiting the CDO Resource Library--perhaps taking a break from studying twice a week.
  • Two hours per week researching campus recruiters and interviewing.
  • One hour per week scanning the Sunday want ads and calling employment agencies.
