Word of Mouth
Connect with your friends in accounting to find your next career
Word of Mouth is a tool some people over look. Tell your friends and family, and other people you meet the fact that you are on a career search and on the lookout for new work. They may know a person who knows someone that might be hiring! Networking is a big component to your next career. Sometimes you just need to connect to the right person, so the more opportunities you have to express what you’re looking for, the better the odds that someone in return will follow back up with you.
You should attend career fairs to mingle with others, introduce yourself to potential employers, and make a great first impression. Other career seekers might have suggestions for you too, so begin a small group to support each other as you look for employment. You don’t have to do this on your own.
Keep in mind, finding a fulltime job is a fulltime job. If you are not putting in the hard work you will have much less success. Think of this experience as an opportunity to brush up on your researching skills, networking skills, and writing skills.
