Most of you will be facing graduation in May or December. However, the economy is going into a recession and the job market is shrinking. How does someone find a job during this uncertain period of time?
First of all, alter your own situation as needed. Last March, the unemployment rate was 5.1% and there were fewer jobs on the market. If you work in real estate or construction, you might need to look somewhere else. It might not be a good idea for you at this moment.
Secondly, consider fields such as education, health care and technology. These three fields typically don’t have a correlation with the market recession. Experts say jobs in those fields haven’t been affected at all.
Third, get your resume up to date. Put everything you have done that is work related on your resume. Even volunteer jobs, after school activities, and community work can put an extra check on your resume. Always have at least 3 experts review your resume. Keep your spirit high. It can be frustrating at the beginning if you don’t get enough feedback. However, don’t stop looking. Participating at job fairs, research on websites and newspapers can be a good alternative resource.
