Job Hunting Tips For University Students

45% of undergraduate students found their first job after university outside of the job ads. Where are these jobs listed?

Textbooks

Most job opportunities are not advertised in the published job market. Often, the best jobs are filled through word-of-mouth networking.

Instead, many successful job applicants take a proactive approach to their job hunt and advertise themselves to the companies they wish to work for.

To help you get started on your job search, we've created a list of accessible information resources:

Network
Access the hidden job market when you network with professors, career counselors, guest speakers, and industry professionals. Don't be afraid to cold call the company that you want to work for and get to know them a little better. When an opening arrives in the future they will remember your enthusiasm.

Information Interviews
Get in the habit of doing some informational interviews. This is a career research strategy that allows you to interview companies of interest to learn more about them and specific career fields within them. This is a win-win situation for you, as it will help you expand your career network, and to determine whether or not this career field or company is really suited to you. And most companies and professionals are very receptive to giving you the interviews, keeping you in mind for upcoming opportunities, and if they really like you, giving you some tips to prepare you for similar positions. But remember, like many job hunting strategies, you have to start this long before you actually need your first real job.

Labour market information
Research current labour market information to determine the employment trends and salary data of your career field of interest.

Now that you've begun to think about your job search, relax knowing that the right opportunities will come to you at the right time. Keep checking these key resources for potential jobs and don't forget to network.

Oh, and don't be shy. Drop by locazU, trade textbooks and network with other students and share resources from courses to jobs.

Where Should I Buy My Textbooks For My College Or University Course?

In this the latest extract from the textbook I wrote to help students like you called 'The Secret Guide To Academic Writing & Study' I seek to consider the importance that many schools, colleges and universities place upon detailed reading lists and establishing core texts (i.e. the teaching of the course you are studying will largely be based upon those books your teachers feel provide a suitable accompaniment to the subject you are studying) for your course for improving yours studies. Therefore, this article seeks to offer some general hints and tips on purchasing the textbooks that you need to enhance your chances of success.

Textbooks

With this in mind, whilst it is undeniably unfortunate, the reality is that when looking to obtain your textbooks you need to appreciate schools, colleges and university libraries only ever stock a certain number of textbooks by any given author for any particular subject. As a result, it is quite likely a textbook that your subject teachers look upon as being of particular importance for any assessment will be in great demand as deadline day approaches so as to only further emphasise the importance of starting your coursework assignments early.

On this basis, you may find it worth your while to invest in the most important of these textbooks either at the student bookshop on campus at your college, university or at a retailer like Waterstones. However, this does not mean your budget for the semester or even the entire year needs to be completely drained overnight. Therefore, a good starting place for purchasing your books, particularly the further you go in higher education, is the university bookshop that may offer prices marginally lower than the high street and specialise in your university's subjects.

Your college or university Student Union may also offer students like you a textbook exchange service where, once you have finished with a textbook, you can then sell these textbooks on via your college or university Student Union who will take a small cut. Moreover, purchasing textbooks on-line has also become a major growth industry as both Amazon and BOL ('Books Online') allow you to buy second-hand books which is great for students at college or university, whilst AbeBooks also allows you to buy or sell a book directly at a fixed cost which is very good for your bank balance on both counts (found on Google or any other search engine)!

In addition, if you choose to purchase second hand books from any of the sources I have identified, please BE AWARE that your subject teachers at your college or university may want you to have the most up to date editions because the information in earlier editions may be out of date. Therefore, I would advise you to check with a teacher before you consider purchasing any second hand books for your college or university course.

However, if you do purchase books from a first-hand retailer, do not be afraid to ask for a discount if you are purchasing a number of educational titles for your college or university course - you will usually get up to 10% OFF with your NUS ('National Union of Students') Card in the UK - and you may find that if the price is still high you could get a further discount if you pay with cash by saying something like -

"I want these books, but on the Internet I could save £X, I want to buy them now, can you do the same?"

REMEMBER - It is ALWAYS a good idea to ask because you could save money since academic books are NOT usually most book stores biggest sellers!
