There's so much to know. Where do I start when searching for a job?
Tippie Career Services is here to provide you with the knowledge and resources needed to complete a successful career search – BUT the onus is on you, the student and job seeker, to:
- Define your plan & set goals
- Execute the search
- Close the deal and secure a role
A recent Tippie alum said,
"The job search is like another class – in order to be successful in it, you have to dedicate time, energy, and resources to it.”
As you look ahead to your end goal (i.e., why you came back to school and what you want to get out of your experience at Tippie), consider other experiences you have had up to this point that required you to invest something to achieve your desired result.
Think about other people in your personal network that you have observed put forth significant effort in pursuit of a goal.
What qualities led to their success?
What got you to business school will not get you where you want to go next without personal and professional growth. This theory can be applied in broad terms to the entire job search experience, but it can also set the foundation for the way you view each step in the process.
Alumni insight
What are three things that you did during your first semester to help land your internship?
"I kept working at interview tactics that felt uncomfortable until they felt comfortable. You will know your elevator pitch is in a good place when it stops feeling awkward.
I reached out to alumni to hear how they used their Tippie degree as a platform for change and to gauge my industry fit.
Thanks to the guidance of the Tippie Career staff, I attended a career fair. In just a few days, you learn an incredible amount about potential paths, employers, and how to make your story resonate."
