I’m at the point in my life where it’s time to look for a job. I have several interests that mainly direct me to working in Health Care PR for children’s hospitals. After researching for jobs I hit a wall and decided to search Web sites on how best to start job searching. The Find a Job Blog seemed exactly like what I needed.

There seems to be so many places to find a career. It’s difficult to search for the unknown when you don’t have an idea about where you want to work. The Find a Job Blog started helping me think more clearly about jobs and the best ways to start looking for one. It clearly discusses the myth and reality in networking.
Communication skills are key as a PR major. Learning the basic steps of networking are important because it helps an inexperienced career-world person find a job that fits their personal style. Networking has become the normal way of finding a job because most desired jobs, according to ShinyResume.com, are unlisted. It also advises that the more committed you are to the job search, the more the people you are networking with will help you find the perfect job.
The Find a Job Blog also wrote that, “You do not go to a networking meeting expecting to get a job. You go expecting to learn about a person, his or her company and the state of the profession in your new area”. This is great advise for someone who is interested in doing preliminary research for job hunting in a certain area.
Meeting people and finding out about the area you want to work in are some of the first steps to finding a job. This is some much needed inspiration. Now it’s time to job search and network!
