Lots of job fairs are held in UP in different months. Make sure to know when and where each job fair is happening. There\u2019s the University Job Fair, University Career Fair organized by USC, JPIA, and AdCore, University Career Fair by UP CAP, UP Career Expo by UP CAPS, and a whole lot more. Be smart and know what to say when talking to company representatives. Make sure to have a copy of their company brochures for important information and contact details.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Attend_a_mixer_night\"><\/span><strong>4.

Again, know when and where these mixer nights are to be held. This is when company representatives and students interact in a closer setting. You can discuss about the \u201cusual\u201d \u2013 what the company is all about, their job openings, and their office location. But it could go way beyond that. Your conversation can even lead to knowing the culture of the company, how it started, and knowing their future plans. Don\u2019t forget to get their calling cards. It\u2019s all about being remembered and leaving a great impression!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Follow_up_through_e-mails_and_calls\"><\/span><strong>5. Follow up through e-mails and calls<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now, here is why it\u2019s important to get a copy of their company brochures and calling cards \u2013 for follow-ups. If you have a company in mind and they haven\u2019t given you a call, then it\u2019s up to you to do the first move. You can inquire through their email address but include the reason why you are inquiring in your subject heading and body. The fastest way to get response is by giving them a call. Companies appreciate students who have the initiative to know the organization and be part of it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Ask_your_working_friends\"><\/span><strong>6. Ask your working friends<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is also one of the reasons why it is essential to be part of student organizations. Not only will you create long-lasting friendships, but you can also ask them for help. You can ask for contact details, job openings, and even ask for referrals from some of your closest working friends. Always keep in touch with your friends who have graduated ahead of you. Who knows where this friendship might bring you!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Utilize_online_job_seeking_platforms\"><\/span><strong>7. Utilize online job seeking platforms<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the fast growth of technology, almost everything is just a click away. You can check each company\u2019s websites and inquire one by one or you can search for jobs in just one platform through websites such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalibrr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kalibrr<\/a>. Since you can do practically everything by just the tip of your fingers, accessing jobs now is easier and faster as compared to how it was done during the old days.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Be_confident\"><\/span><strong>8. Be confident!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Of course, all it takes is the right amount of attitude, knowledge, and confidence to get to where you want to be. Practice, practice, practice how to talk, communicate, and sell yourself. Think of yourself as one brand \u2013 a brand that you want your market to have. Know where you are good at and where you are not and work your way from there. And never forget to always bring a smile with you &#8211; nothing goes wrong with a smile!
