Charting your course:

First Questions to ask yourself:

1. What type of job do you want? If you really have no idea, first make a list of the things you like to do and come make an appointment with the Career Center to take the TYPEFOCUS skills test to find out your strengths and the careers that would fit you best.

2. Where you want to live? Are you open to relocating, or do you have a very specific geographic location in mind? If you have a specific location in mind, then your next step is identifying the companies that have offices/plants/locations in those areas.

Putting a plan into action:

Have your Résumé and Cover Letter proofed by our trained staff: jobs@lagrange.edu
Attend on-campus recruiting
Career Fairs: On-campus and Off-campus
Networking: one of the still-hidden gems of job-hunting and one of the keys to a successful job search
Internet job sites: Just do not put all your efforts here and ignore other job-hunting methods.
Company Web sites: many employers now post all sorts of employment and job listings on their Web sites, so if you have some specific companies in mind, you should definitely take advantage of it.
