If you don\u2019t know which skills you want to use on the job, what type of an environment you\u2019re seeking, or even where you\u2019d like to be geographically, your job search can quickly become overwhelming.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Narrow your focus by <strong>targeting<\/strong> opportunities or roles that will allow you to use the skills that you\u2019ve developed and desire to use on the job. Putting some limits on your job search is a good thing and makes it less overwhelming.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Research companies that align with your interests and values. Keep your finger on the pulse of what\u2019s happening there: what recent projects or campaigns have they developed? Have they been in the news lately? Won any awards? Knowing these things will make it much easier to <strong>network<\/strong> with people who work there.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Networking is absolutely necessary for the job hunt in communications and should comprise about 80% of your job search. The more people who know who you are and what you want to do, the better your chances are of finding the right opportunity. Job seekers should be in contact with a minimum of 15 connections on a regular basis.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Tailor your application documents. A cover letter is never \u201cone-and-done,\u201d and neither is a resume. The more attention you give to adjusting your documents to what the job is seeking, the more likely you are to make an impact before the employer even meets you. Companies use ATS (application tracking system) to filter out resumes, which means making sure your materials are using all the right keywords for the job.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Sometimes, job hunting can feel like a part-time job on its own! Remember to take one step at a time: start your search (networking!) early, and break down your job-hunting tasks into manageable steps. Attending the Newhouse Career Development Center\u2019s Job Hunt Series (link) will help you give structure to your search and teach you how to make the most of your networking.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Current students can attend the CDC\u2019s Job Hunt Series!

However, all positions are not created equally: each will be looking for something slightly different, whether a certain set of skills or a specific background in a certain work environment. While you may absolutely qualify for both, do not use the same resume and cover letter to apply for both positions. The industry is small, and people talk. If you do not go the extra mile, you risk looking unfocused and the interview might go to someone who put in the effort. Instead, use each job description as your guide. Highlight qualities that the position is seeking that you definitely have. Those are the skills that you should emphasize in the bulleted statements of your resume and in the body of your cover letter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<article id=\"faq-block_5f3412e4b4241\" class=\"faq--item\">\n   <div class=\"faq--question\">Is networking really necessary in order for me to secure a job? <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/resources.newhouse.syr.edu\/cdc\/wp-content\/themes\/cdc-resources-theme-master\/img\/plus-solid.svg\" alt=\"Plus sign\" class=\"faq--question--icon\"><\/div>\n   <div class=\"faq--answer\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, let\u2019s start with some statistics. By law, employers are required to publicly post, at minimum, 10% of the jobs that they have available. This means that potentially 90% of jobs that actually exist are never even posted by the employer! If those jobs aren\u2019t posted, how do you figure they\u2019re probably getting filled? Answer: connections, referrals, former temps, or interns. Because of this, networking should comprise about 80% of your job search. Yes, we prefer the convenience of passively cruising online postings and applying at our leisure, and while that can still comprise a small part of your job search, employers prefer to hire based on who they know as opposed to sifting through hundreds of applicants (strangers!) who applied through an online portal.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<article id=\"faq-block_5f3412e9b4242\" class=\"faq--item\">\n   <div class=\"faq--question\">Should I be focusing more on quality versus quantity when reaching out to people to network? <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/resources.newhouse.syr.edu\/cdc\/wp-content\/themes\/cdc-resources-theme-master\/img\/plus-solid.svg\" alt=\"Plus sign\" class=\"faq--question--icon\"><\/div>\n   <div class=\"faq--answer\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality? Definitely. But quantity? Important, too! Keep in mind that the more people who know who you are and what you want to do, the more likely you are to be \u201ctop of mind\u201d when the right opportunity arises. But remember: following up is key. Don\u2019t just reach out to a contact one time and then be done after you\u2019ve gotten the information that you need. Keep the conversation going by following up every four to six weeks at the start. Keep a spreadsheet of every contact that you\u2019ve reached out to and when you plan to follow up.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<article id=\"faq-block_5f34134db4243\" class=\"faq--item\">\n   <div class=\"faq--question\">A job posting is asking me for my salary requirements in the application. What do I say? I\u2019m worried that I\u2019ll be asking for too much or worse, not enough. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/resources.newhouse.syr.edu\/cdc\/wp-content\/themes\/cdc-resources-theme-master\/img\/plus-solid.svg\" alt=\"Plus sign\" class=\"faq--question--icon\"><\/div>\n   <div class=\"faq--answer\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before answering this question, do your research. How much are professionals making who are doing roughly the same job and living in a comparable area? There are plenty of online resources that you can use to find this information, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/index.htm\">glassdoor.com<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salary.com\/\">salary.com<\/a>. Keep in mind that the numbers you see might be for someone who has already been working in the field for a year or two. Adjust your expectations from there and try to identify a salary range of about $5,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is also a great networking question! Ask one of your contacts in that area of the industry what they think an appropriate range might be for this type of role. E.g. \u201cI have done some research and it seems like $40,000-$45,000 is the ballpark for [name of role] in [city or metro area]. Does this seem accurate to you?\u201d Note that you\u2019re not asking about the individual\u2019s salary history, just their input.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your goal, after researching, is to have: a salary that you\u2019d like to have, a salary that you\u2019d be willing to take, and a salary that you\u2019d need, based on your living expenses. When the job offers start rolling in, you\u2019ll be relieved to have this guideline, and you\u2019ll be able to identify when an employer is offering you a salary that\u2019s well below what you can live on. Be ready with numbers in mind for your interview in case you are asked of your expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of answering this question on a job application or in a cover letter, the best case scenario is to state \u201cflexible.\u201d This will show employers that you\u2019re willing to negotiate. However, sometimes an application won\u2019t allow this option. In that case, this is where your networking and research will pay off again and you can provide a salary range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We go into more detail in our podcast listed in the Multimedia Resources section.

First, inventory the skills needed for the role you want to have. You probably have a lot of these floating around your head, but get out a scrap sheet of paper or open a new doc on your computer and start making a list. Look at job descriptions for the kind of work that you want to be doing and make note of the skills, programs, equipment, or any other recurring themes from description to description.<\/p>\n<p>Next, review those recurring themes: is this what you thought the work would entail? Do you need to make any adjustments to your search? If the answer to either of those questions is \u201cyes,\u201d make needed modifications to your research, re-inventory, and amend the list of recurring themes as needed.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have a handle on common tasks and skills needed for the role, think about your own experience. Do you possess what is needed? If not, how can you build those skills in your current role, by volunteering, through side projects, etc.? In general, if you want to do X (write for TV, direct movies, write copy, design logos), you should find a way to be doing X on your own, regardless of your current job. Companies want to hire someone who already has experience using the skills needed for the job, so making sure you don\u2019t have any large skills gaps between what you want to do and what you already have done\/can do is really important. If the role requires a specific skill that you have experience with but it wasn\u2019t in the exact same capacity, this is ok. What is important is that you have that skill.<\/p>\n<p>From here, you will want to make sure that you properly \u201crepackage\u201d yourself and devote yourself to networking.<\/p>\n<p>If, after inventorying and working on repackaging yourself, you would like to speak with someone in more detail about your job search, you may request to meet with an alumni career counselor by emailing <a href=\"mailto:alumnicareers@syr.edu\">alumnicareers@syr.edu<\/a>.

When a job hunter feels frustrated, the first thing to do is to assess whether time and energy are being spent on fruitful, proactive approaches. If you are searching for a job and feeling frustrated by the lack of return on your efforts, run through this list and keep track of when you can say yes, you are doing what is described or no, you are not doing what is described:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I spend no more than 20% of my job-searching time scouring job boards.<br \/>\nI have developed a list of target companies that may offer me the opportunity to (or as a stepping stone to be able to) use the skills I want to use and perform the tasks I want to perform, regardless of whether that company is currently publicly hiring.<\/li>\n<li>I am actively developing a large network of contacts that I am in touch with on a regular basis.<\/li>\n<li>I perform networking tasks (researching new contacts, following up with established contacts, going to networking events, reading about companies of interest, etc.) every day.<\/li>\n<li>My approach to networking considers who each contact is and what questions would be relevant to them, rather than sending a generic template email.<\/li>\n<li>My questions and conversations with contacts are sincere, tailored to the individual, and appreciative, and I treat each interaction as an opportunity to show that I have been listening.<\/li>\n<li>My goal in networking is to get as many people as possible to know who I am and what I want to do, so that I have the best chance of having a contact somewhere I want to work letting me know about a job lead I wouldn\u2019t otherwise know about.<\/li>\n<li>I am balancing the quality of these networking relationships with my efforts to grow my contact base because both the sincerity of each relationship and having a lot of contacts are important.<\/li>\n<li>I understand that the preferred method of hiring is through referral because hiring managers don\u2019t want to review thousands of applications and having a candidate be recommended makes their job a lot easier.<\/li>\n<li>I also understand that this means that I have to have lots of options by creating a large target list, establishing relationships at each organization, and reminding contacts that I exist, all of which will increase my odds of hearing about job leads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the answer to each of the checklist items above wasn\u2019t \u201cyes,\u201d you have identified something you need to work on that will improve your chances of a successful job search. The hardest part of a job search is having patience. It is guaranteed that your search will take time and effort, but you are the only one who can ensure you are investing your time and effort into a proactive job hunt. Take some time to change your approach to the items you identified, then see how you are feeling.<\/p>\n<p>If you did answer \u201cyes\u201d to each item above, good work! Your main challenges are likely those outside of your control: timing and other people\u2019s free will. Perhaps knowing that you are going about your search in the most effective way is validation and motivation enough to keep going! We hope that it at least helps a little bit.
