Rebecca’s Answer

Thank you for your question. I am sure any particular industry you have interest on. I assume you are a college student and will graduate soon.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Many corporates may have graduates programs. They may post it on their career portal or in college career office. You can keep any eye on it.
2. Explore any suitable jobs on online job search website, e.g. LinkedIn, etc.
3. Contact Recruitment Agents
4. If there are any corporates that you have interest to work for them particularly, you can send an email with your cv to them to explore any suitable opportunities.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Jorge’s Answer

While it would help to know what field you are interested in, some general advice that may be helpful:

- Start with people you know in the field. They will generally be your best source to get your foot in the door. If possible invite them to coffee or lunch and pick their brain on the industry, company, competitors and job itself.

- If you do not have a linked in account, set one up and begin connecting with people in the space. This can be a great resource to connect with others of similar interest and can be a great resource to find that role you are looking for.

- Lastly if you are still in school, go to your career adviser office and seek out intern opportunities in the field of interest. This can provide you insight into the space and also help make contacts for the future.

Best of Luck
