Job Hunting Tips
If you are looking for a job, says Diana Krajewski
of Technoforce LLC, the first thing to do is attend professional
association
meetings in the area of your expertise (U.S. 1, July 12, 2000). If you
want to work for a startup, go to a venture association meeting, like
the Venture Association of New Jersey or the New Jersey
Entrepreneurial Association. Or target meetings of the New Jersey
Technology Council, or any showcases that highlight the incubator
companies.
Everyone at a networking meeting usually gets the chance to introduce
themselves, however briefly, and if you are hunting for a job, you
can say so. Other tips to jobseekers:
information is included in any handouts. Venture groups issue a
list of registrants, by number, and a booklet of the sponsors.
"When
people introduce themselves, they refer to their number. You can
circle
the information and get back to them at a later date," she says.
are looking for. Compare where your skills match up. What do you have
that could differentiate you? Where do you need to improve your
skills.
to showcase competencies that companies are looking for.
because employer referral programs are one of the most popular
recruiting
methods now.
understand what your personal values are and how they mesh with those
of the corporation. "In everything you need to include integrity
and social responsibility," says Krajewski.
