If you are just about to graduate college, have already graduated from college, or are just thinking about a mid-life career search you may be looking for entry level job openings. As a college graduate or an alumni one of the first things you should do in looking for employment opportunities is to contact your institution’s career office.
Your college career office can put you through a battery of tests to determine what your skills are and what types of career opportunities are open to you. Also, the career office can help you figure out what type of job you may really be interested in pursuing. Regardless of the degree that you received, you may find out that you’re actually more interested in a job that has nothing to do with the degree that you received.
For example, many individuals have received an undergraduate degree and gone on to law school and never end up practicing law. A high profile example of this is Charlie Rose, a long time journalist on PBS who has his own talk show. There are many less high profile examples of individuals who have a bachelors or advanced degrees and end up working in totally unrelated careers.
The first thing you need to do to locate entry level job openings is to determine what type of job you want to find. As mentioned, if you’re affiliated with a college the career office can help you make this decision. If you’re not affiliated with a college you can contact the Department of Labor in the state where you live to see what type of job services they provide for individual’s looking for new career opportunities.
Another way to determine the type of job that you may be interested in is to do some research on the Internet. Two high profile online resources, Vault.com and Webfeet.com, are good places to do some in-depth research on different industries and companies. When doing research, make sure you consider entry level job openings that even have the slightest interest to you. When searching in this manner, you cast a wide net of job opportunities that you may later find seem very interesting to you.
In the second part of this article I will discuss some of the top online resources where you can go to find specific entry level job postings. One thing you should be considering at this point even though you have not decided what job you may be interested in is creating a high quality resume. Even if you don’t have significant job experience at this point, your resume should include information about your studies and your personality and how you can effectively contribute as a productive employee.
