Get Hired

Week of September 29 – October 6

Tip of the Week: Don’t Let a Good Opportunity End With an Application

Applying is only the first step. If you’re genuinely interested in an employer or opportunity, look for ways to stay connected. Attend an employer information session, connect with a recruiter on LinkedIn, or send a brief follow-up message after an event or interview.

A little follow-up can help you stay on an employer’s radar and turn a one-time interaction into a professional connection.

What you are building while you do this

This is more than just searching. It is how you start building skills you will use in your experiences.

  • When you introduce yourself and communicate with employers, that is Communication.
  • When you maintain professional relationships, that is Relationship Building.

These are the kinds of competencies you can recognize and reflect on through your experiences.
