How to Find a Job

By Larry B. Gray

I have been coaching a recent college graduate on how to find a job. It is amazing and frustrating to see how unprepared most college graduates are when it comes to finding a job after graduation. But, looking back, so was I.

With the constant change in the way we exchange information and conduct business today it is hard to keep up with all the new tricks to finding jobs. From massive job sites such as Monster and other electronic job bulletin boards, to social media, the landscape of finding a job is continually evolving. Even with this, the simple basic rules still apply and must be followed.

Let’s discuss some of the basics to conducting a job search and landing that perfect job. Some of the information covered will be:
- How to conduct a job search.
- How to write a resume.
- How to write a cover letter.
- How to handle the interview.
