Job hunting for new grads 2014
1. Job hunting for new
grads - 2014
Tips from Keith Harris, Talent Manager @circleup
2. Intro
Just like last year, the job market is still pretty tough for most
new grads but things are slowly improving. That’s never a
problem for those at the top of the class but for the regular
people it means a lot of work to land your first job.

3. Tips from a recruiter point of view
It’s a cliché but also quite true: finding a job is a full time job. Use all your
resources available such as career services, friends/classmates, family,
professors, alumni and other people you trust to prepare you for your job
search. You’ll get there if you invest the time.
A recruiter can help too! I bring an interesting perspective in having
consulted with hundreds of students at Stanford, MIT, CMU, UIUC and
collaborated closely with career services, professors and deans at my alma
mater, San Diego State.
It may be redundant to copy a lot of the material from last years “Job
hunting for new grads 2013” so how about suggesting to review it again?
Most of the content remains relevant particularly, Where to Start.
4. What’s new this year?
There are many new resources this year that are awesome. Linkedin remains
king but my two upcoming favorites are Glassdoor and AngelList.
Glassdoor almost feels like cheating. They’re your one stop destination for
jobs, company research, employee reviews, interview questions and even
salary info!
Here’s a great way to start by looking at their “job-search” tag link:

AngelList is a platform to connect investors with startups but it’s also
becoming a secret spot for finding startup jobs. You have the option to
change your profile to “actively looking” so recruiters like me can find you.
