What is the best method for job hunting for a recent college graduate?

I have a bachelor's in international business and a minor economics. I want to go into consulting or government, but getting a start in either of those fields is difficult and I'm not sure where to start. Anyone with personal experience would be especially helpful.What is the best method for job hunting for a recent college graduate?
Get out the yellow pages and call companies in your field and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention. You can follow up in a week with a call to that person. Take a look at your resume. Is it full of gobbledegook about you are looking for a meaningful job or discusses your character instead of what work you can do? Employers want to see a specific job objective like to find a sales trainee position where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. Stuff about finding a meaningful job goes in the garbage esp if you can't say what kind of job you are looking for. You should also be telling everyone you knows including relatives that you are looking for a job. Also apply for civil service jobsWhat is the best method for job hunting for a recent college graduate?
If u can arrange sponsorship. I have a never before theory in economics. It would be globally acceptable.


In the age of Sc and Tech. where muscle power is being replaced by machines and brain power by computer. it is not possible to allot jobs for billions of people. demand for job means - replace the machine and comp. man will work, and it will reduce quality and quantity in total GDP.


Now it is time to share national income in form of cash among citizens, same as dividend in LTD Co. 100s' of Members' of parliament in India in process of putting a bill before house regarding it ... they want to close welfare pro grammes of govts' and distribute liquid assets among citizens, it will be called votership ( minimum financial equality ) same as minimum political power in the form of Vote. We are in the age of U turning civilization.

It's all about who you know. Network. Internship. Even volunteer to meet the right people. When a faceless resume comes across a desk, the one who hires would much rather go with a candidate who has a personal recommendation from someone the hiring person knows. It doesn't seem fair, but that is the reality of the way it works.
Talk to everyone you know. This is not a time to be shy . . . you have to tap into any lead or potential lead you might have.





Also, don't be afraid to take a job that feels like it is ';below'; you to begin with. Any experience will quickly build a resume, and may get your foot in a door. My first job out of college was a practically-minimum-wage hands-on position, but a purposeful move in hopes of moving up. I did move up, and up, and up. It has taken me about 8 years, but I am not one of the youngest Human Resource Directors in my state. It can be done . . . just be purposeful and make lots of friends!
First does your college have a bulletin board of job postings? Sometimes colleges are the first ones to receive job opening postings. Make up a bunch of resumes and look up job cites in your area. Sometimes they'll list openings on their own website. Call the human resources dept. Mail in a resume. Possibly deliver your resume in person, call first since some companies don't like this. Lastly, check the newspapers. Usually though, the openings listed in the newspaper are the last resort for the company.
