Be open to how and where you might learn about a great job opportunity or helpful contact
Ove the years students and alumni have told me about the unexpected places, groups and individuals from whom they learned about job openings and/or resourceful people. I’ve kept a list of them and include some here in hopes that an entry or two will provide ideas for your own job search.
Groups and individuals
- Summer camp friends and campers’ parents
- City-wide/regional choral/orchestra group members
- High school athletic team members
- Parent’s friends
- Friend’s parents
- Friend’s parent’s friends
- Elementary/middle school/high school friends
- Book group members
- Fellow religious congregation members
Places and situations
- Cocktail party
- Doctor’s office
- Barbershop/hair salon
- Neighborhood coffee shop/deli
- Gym/community center
- Pop-up shops and art galleries
Be open to learning in unexpected places and feel free to add your suggestions to this list!
