Searching
for a job can be a
frustrating task. It is important that students do not wait until their
senior
year to begin searching for a job. A student's junior year is the
optimal time to begin searching for post graduation employment.
Students that are interested in applying for an internship need to
start looking even sooner. Internships need to start being researched
during a student's sophomore year. |
Company Websites | Job Search Engines | |
Almost
all large companies and many small
companies have their own websites. A company website is a good place to
get
general information on employment. The problem with most company
websites is lack
of specific information that an applicant may want to know. Most company websites have a webpage that describes the company’s general requirements for employment. These sites will usually have a link that leads to an email address where an applicant can send his or her cover letter and resume. The company web site is also a great place to research information about the company’s background. This information is beneficial if an applicant is selected for an interview. The companies listed below are employers that are known to hire students with an Industrial Technology degree. Don't worry these companies are not the only ones that hire Industrial Technology majors. This list just contains some of the more popular companies that employ Industrial Technology majors. We would need to dedicate an entire website to be able to list every company that hires students in this field of study. This list's purpose is to give students a starting point. For the students' convenience, these links will send you directly to the company’s career page. The career links on some of these companies’ home pages are a little hard to find. |
Job search engines are invaluable job
searching
tools. Students can gather information on local and nationwide job
openings. Information
gathering is about all that a student can do on these websites without
registering with the site. To take full advantage of the services that
these
engines have to offer, a student must register with the website. Registration is worth the five minutes that it takes to complete. This process usually includes a minimum of giving your name an email address and a telephone number. Once a student is registered, these sites will usually start a personal profile by asking for education level, career interests, work experience, and current employment status. With this information these engines will customize a list of job openings that match the information that the student gives. Another service that job search engines offer to a registered student is the option of posting their resume on the site. This allows potential employers to view a student’s resume. It also allows a student to apply for a posted job opening by simply pushing a button. The services covered in the previous paragraphs are common among the job searching engines listed below. Some of these engines provide additional information such as resume tips, interview tips, career planning, and job hunting strategies. |
