Job Search Resources - By Reference

In order to enter and/or remain in the market, you should write articles for your college journal, newspaper and magazines. That helps people recognize you as a capable person who can write coherently.

Let your peers know that you are looking for a job in a certain segment. This helps in people referring you to their employers when there is new hiring.

Similarly, let your capabilities be known to people who matter through indirect means, so that you retain your dignity at all times. Never go as a 'needy' person to get a job, people will take advantage of your situation and offer you less than what you are truly worth.
