    Job Search Strategies

    Career Services University of North Georgia

    Four Steps to Keep You Moving Forward

    1. Targeted Search
    2. Network
    3. Handshake
    4. To-do List

    1. Targeted Search

    Avoid applying for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Aim for QUALITY, not quantity. Research companies that share your values. Search for companies in your industry. Find local companies in the Chamber of Commerce directory.

    2. Networking

    Complete your LinkedIn profile. Create a blog or website to showcase your skills. Create a professional Twitter account. Join professional groups on Facebook.

    Connect with recruiters, industry experts, current/past colleagues, UNG students, and alumni.

    Follow companies, industry news, and discover opportunities.

    3. Use our job board, Handshake, to find opportunities.

    Explore thousands of employers across the country. Upload your resume and search for jobs/internships. See listings of virtual events such as virtual career fairs and live chats.

    Create your Handshake profile and jump start your job search! Ung.joinhandshake.com

    4. To-Do List

    Make your job search manageable by creating a daily To-Do list. Accomplish small steps every day to move closer to your goals.

    To-Do List

    Build in down time for relaxation and self-care. Stay connected with friends. Do something fun that builds your energy.

    Career Services can help you with your job search. Make an appointment at ung.edu/careers.
