Job Search Checklist

Identify the types of positions and companies that you find interesting, and identify the skills and background information needed for those roles.

Determine where you want to work geographically (if location is important).

Educate yourself on that specific industry.

Find at least 3 references to have whenever you apply (make sure they apply to the field or your work ethic).

Bring your resume to the Office of Vocation and Calling and schedule an interview prep session.

Create a job search plan with measurable and attainable goals.

Create an “elevator pitch” that describes your education and work experience, and the position you are seeking. This is concise.

Network with people you already know and share your “elevator pitch” with them.

Keep a record of the jobs you apply for, and make sure to follow up.

Above all, remain positive and know that an opportunity will eventually come!
