Some really good advice I got the other day from a friend of mine when looking for a job is to look on the Marriott School website and find Alumni who are currently working at the company I'm interested in. Their email addresses are listed and you can contact them to get an idea about the company, and potentially for them to even recommend you. The same advice was given yesterday in class by Mrs. Fueston. Definitely something to keep in mind while looking for jobs and internships.
Other good ideas for looking for jobs are BYU Bridge, LDSjobs.com, LinkedIn, and networking.
To be honest, I thought the mission could be really stressful and school could be really stressful, but job hunting I think beats them both. It's like you're racing against everyone else trying to get a job before you. The job you find can affect the rest of your life. My wife had the awesome idea of fasting this week, so we're going to try that out. I know Heavenly Father is mindful of me and my family at this time and I also have faith that as long as I do my part and diligently search, I'll find what's right for me.
This is dope. It's short, but dope. I feel like it's so important to involve everyone and everything we can into our academic and career pursuits. Especially Heavenly Father. He is the one that will give us that job! The more respect and reverence we give him, the better off we are. Always.
ReplyDeleteLooking for a job is stressful! No doubt about it. But it's so worth it when you find one! I mean, I'm not talking from experience here, but all the work that you put into finding a job makes everything right, ya know? I know you will be fine! Be yourself because you are awesome! Basically my idol right now. Nbd.
