This exciting new feature on Gradspot graced our inbox today, and we are more than thrilled to share it with you! Each day, over the course of 30 days they will have a new tip for job hunting in 09. If you are a recent grad worried about finding a job in the current recession, professional out of work on the job hunt, or anyone (probably all of us) staying prepared in this economy, this is an excellent resource. Check out some of the ones they currently have up: Don’t get discouraged, Move to an industry hub, earn some cash in the meantime and Learn which industries are doing well.
I absolutely love their tip on “Reading the news to find your passion” (courtesy of Lindsay Pollack). They propose that next time you pick up the newspaper, pay attention to which sections you gravitate to. The paper covers a broad range of topics from international news, to politics, sports, style and business, and whatever section you enjoy reading says a lot about your passions and interests (and is therefore a great career field!). I also enjoyed their industry hub tip, which has the main industries of focus in different cities. If you are interested in a particular field, moving to a city where it is popular (i.e. fashion in nyc, technology in San Francisco) will definitely help your career search.
Here is the link to the articles on Gradspot. Happy reading!
