This should help if your school failed to teach you how to find the career you want after you graduate.

1. Positioning Yourself for That New Job

2. Step One:
Create an e-portfolio
This should represent how you view
yourself. Others will view you this way
also.

3. e-portfolio
An e-portfolio will document the growth you have made over the years
as a professional (your latest work should reflect better work than
your earlier stuff).

4. The purpose of an e-portfolio
Just like these boxes, an e-portfolio is a
great way to “Stack up” all of your
skills in one place as a visual
collection of your skills.

5. The purpose of an e-portfilio
An e-portfolio will show that you know how to bridge the
gap between theory and practice. You have these
skills in theory, lets show that you really do have those
skills by the work that you have done.

6. Step two:
Get a LinkedIn account

7. LinkedIn Tip No. 1:
Be mindful what accounts you merge
with LinkedIn
Unless your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
accounts are professional in nature, do
not merge them with LinkedIn.

8. LinkedIn Tip No. 2:
Do not neglect privacy settings
Some companies may not be too keen
on their employees looking for other
work. They may let you go earlier
than you were hoping.

9. LinkedIn Tip No. 3:
LinkedIn profiles take work
Connect with new people, update your
profile whenever necessary, join
groups, go to events you learn about
on LinkedIn. Sometimes finding a job
is a full-time job.

10. Step three:
Create a Personal Website

11. Concerns about your personal website:
How is what I do interesting?
It's not about entertaining anyone. It's about
showing you have experience in the workplace.

12. Building a website takes too much time
Not true. The actual building of the website
should only take around 30 minutes. The
whole process could be done during your
spare time over a weekend.

13. A personal website cost too much
money
This depends on what you constitutes “too
much money.” However, domain purchase
and web hosting for a year could be found for
around $100 a year.

14. Where do I even start?
There are literally thousands of
resources online to find how to
build a website. If you are grown-up
enough to find a job, you are
grown-up enough to do research.

15. If I do all of these things, then what?

16. If you do it right, maybe you will end
up like this guy
Best of luck to you.
