Self-Directed Job Search
A self-directed job search requires the job-seeker to do research on businesses of interest. The job-seeker also needs to have a fair amount of self-awareness. Realizing personal preferences or having self-awareness as it relates to a career is important when clarifying which companies to research. Basic career inventory questions can achieve this self-awareness. I’ve compiled the following questions for creating increased self-awareness with Art Institute students:
1. What industry is most interesting to you for a career? Why?
2. What geographic location is most appealing?
3. What duties do you enjoy doing most as it relates to your industry?
4. What duties do you enjoy doing least as it relates to your industry?
5. What is the minimum pay you can survive on?
6. What topics within your industry do you want to learn most about?
7. What position do you want three to five years from now?
8. What personal goals can you achieve by obtaining a position in your
chosen industry?
9. What is your ideal work schedule?
10. What employer offered benefits are important to you?
11. What are some of the job titles that interest you?
12. Who can you contact within your industry of choice?
As a job-seeker you can streamline your job search by answering these questions. Afterwards, target companies based on the answers. Then, contact managers within the department of interest, even if they are not presently hiring. This is a form of networking. For example, if you are a Graphic Designer and want to work for an advertising agency in New York City, then you should start promoting your resume and portfolio to the Art Director or Studio Manager within every New York City advertising agency.
This method allows you to promote your skills to a more targeted audience, whether they have a position posted or not. It doesn’t matter. You want your information in front of as many industry professionals as possible. This also helps you create a list of professionals in your industry and build your network. LinkedIn.com is one of the most respected online networking tools for professionals. Complete a profile on LinkedIn.com and you will be one step closer to having a powerful online network.
By calling and emailing professionals when they are not hiring, you are giving yourself an advantage over everyone else who is stuck staring into the abyss of job boards. You are actually networking and talking to people who can help refer you to someone else. Put yourself out there. Sitting in front of the computer all day is not as effective as picking up the phone and making phone calls to key players within targeted companies. Use LinkedIn and Google to research people and companies. Personally, I’d prefer to interview someone who went out of their way to call me directly over someone who found a posting on some stale job board.

Who's Hiring Now from the Fortune 500 - Vol 1
Who’s Hiring Now from the Fortune 500 – Vol 1, By www.careeralley.com
“Anyone who says businessmen only deal in facts, not fiction, has never read old five year projections.” – Malcolm Forbes
The Fortune 500 (and no, it’s not an oversight that I quoted Malcolm Forbes while reviewing the Fortune 500) is as well known as any group. And yes, there are more than a few from last year’s list that are now gone (in one form or another). But that being said, this is still the “top of the heap” and is as good a place as any to look for your next job. Working for a Fortune 500 does not guarantee that you will have a job long term (I should know), but it is a very distinguished list and certainly has more “winners” in the business world than “losers”. Three of the top 5 are in the energy business (no surprise there). Across the first 5 companies reviewed in this post, there were over 2,600 job opportunities (in total) when I checked these sites. This is the first post for this series which will appear in the blog from time to time.
Exxon Mobil- Ranked number 1 (up from number 2 last year), Exxon Mobil is, of course, is in the Oil and Gas business. Their career page has a few tabs at the top on the company as well as a Your Career tab. There is a “Click to Apply” link on the left hand side of the page which takes you directly to a page where you can search for openings and register. If you stick to the main page you can click Locations, Your Career or Global Careers. Whatever your choice of review/entry, you should eventually pick the location where you would like to search (or check several locations). If you would like to check jobs worldwide, click the Click to Apply and then Search Openings. There were 372 jobs (globally) when I checked the site.
Wal-Mart Stores – Another well known name, Wal-Mart was ranked 2 this year (down from 1). There are a number of options when visiting the Wal-Mart Careers page: Sam’s Club, Corporate Careers, Logistics Careers and quite a few more. Their main careers page has a large Apply label right in the middle of the page (which does not link to anything). If you would like to explore first, the left hand side of the page is filled with quite a few options. In addition to the ones I listed, there is also College and Recent Grads, Military, Driving Careers and many more. You can also check for jobs in your area by clicking “in your local area” center page. There is a way to search across all jobs. There were 265 jobs when I checked the site
Chevron – Ranked #3, Chevron is another Oil and Gas company. Their Careers page is crisp and easier to navigate than many career pages. There are tabs at the top for Find a Job, Types of Jobs, Students and Recent Grads and Working at Chevron. On the right hand side there are a few links: Look for Jobs Around the World, a careers link in Spanish and College Recruiting. Clicking Jobs Around the World leads to the Find a Job page where you will need to select a country.
ConocoPhilips – Yet another Oil and Gas company, ConocoPhilips was ranked 4 (up from 5 last year). Their careers page offers two choices: ConocoPhilips Careers and University Recruitment (these are directly below a company overview and are repeated on the left hand side of the page). Once in the careers, there is are a number of choices including picking region, reviewing benefits, Career Development or simply clicking Job Search. There were 51 jobs when I checked the site.
General Electric – Ranked 5 (up from 6), GE is involved in way too many businesses to list here. There are over 300,000 people in over 100 locations (according to the website). Their careers page has a company overview followed by segmented opportunities – University and R&D are featured. Click on Start your Job Search and then Search Openings – there were 1,889 jobs when I checked the site.
Good luck in your search.

Can I negotiate a salary for my internship?
I have advised numerous students to research internship opportunities long before you begin applying. There are companies that pay stipends and hourly rates for internships but it may take a little effort on the internship seekers part to find companies that pay their interns but it is worth it.
Another way to go about getting paid for internship college credits it to get a part-time job related to you industry while you are in school and ask your employer if they would approve your work experience for credit. For example, if you obtain a part-time job as a Graphic Designer and your major is Graphic Art you may be able to use the experience as both an internship and work experience for your resume plus get a paycheck. This situation is win-win for everyone.
