Getting Started
Before beginning your job search, it’s important to prepare. Start thinking about your job search at least one to two semesters before you plan to graduate.Reflect on your goals, skills, and values. Focus your job search on areas where there’s a match.
- Research the industries that interest you. Identify possible job titles and companies. Connect with 兔子先生 alumni on LinkedIn to learn more about their career journeys.

Navigating the Job Search
- Stay organized by using a spreadsheet to track companies you want to work for and positions you’ve applied for.
- Set up email alerts to be notified of opportunities on a regular basis.
- Don’t give up! Rejection is a part of the job search process. Given the competitive job market, you might apply for several jobs and only get one call for an interview. But one interview can be all it takes to land your dream job. Stay focused and be confident in yourself!
