#1: Most jobs are posted online. In actuality, only about 15 to 20 percent of jobs are advertised at all. Employers might be reluctant to advertise a job for a number of reasons: they might be overwhelmed with the amount of applicants or solely rely on employee referrals. The “hidden” job market is where the rest of the job openings are. It represents jobs that are not advertised. How do you discover these opportunities? Mostly through networking — so start connecting!

#2: Your education and skills sell themselves. Although a degree alone might have been enough to land a job 10 years ago, graduating college is not enough to differentiate you in today’s job market. Remember that you are a product that you’re marketing to employers. Your resume, cover letter, and interview must show the employer why you’re a good fit for the job. Show them the value you’d bring to the position if hired.

#3: You have to stick with the career path you’re currently in. Changing careers is difficult, but it’s not impossible. In fact, most people will change careers multiple times in their lifetime. That being said, it will take effort to switch careers and it may require additional education or training. It also might mean working your way back up to your ideal position by taking an internship or part-time position to start.

#4: Your work is done after you send in an application. Most employers expect interested job candidates to follow-up on their status, and some won’t even consider candidates who don’t follow-up with them because it implies they aren’t interested in the job. Keep track of every job you apply for and track down the hiring manager’s contact information to stay in touch about the opening.

#5: The most qualified person will get the job. Just because your skills and experience check all of the required boxes on the job description does not necessarily mean you’ll get the job. And if you’re competing with people who have more experience than you do, it doesn’t mean they’re guaranteed to land the job, either. Employers are looking to hire someone who meets their requirements, but interviewing skills and rapport with the interviewer are also key aspects of landing a job. Use your time at the interview to prove why you’re the best fit for the job and the company culture.

Knowing where jobs are posted, how to market yourself and what employers are looking for are all important to finding success on the job search. What other myths would you add to this list?

Here’s a recap of some of last night’s questions and answers:

–

Why are internships such an important part of career development today?

@YouTernMark: A degree is simply not enough in today’s economy. Employers demand experience, from even entry-level employees. In our competitive workforce, the differentiator is being able to get the job done now – internships provide that experience. With 9 out of 10 direct-from-college hires going to those with workforce experience… internships almost mandatory now. About 70% of students completing internships now.. up from 10% just a few years ago.

@TomBolt:  Internships are the bridge between academia and industry. Internships provide continuing education and practical experience outside of the classroom.

@kbaumann: Today’s internships provide opportunities to use your soft skills (leadership, communication) not to mention project management.

Are internships only for college students? Can workforce veterans also benefit from experiential learning?

@YouTernMark: Everybody in “learning” mode can benefit from internships – students, recent grads and workforce veterans. For all of us, internships allow us to show our work ethic to a potential employer… not a bad way to get a foot in the door. Think of internships as experiential education — in the old-school apprentice model — and everybody benefits.

@kbaumann: Internships are still mostly traditional (undergrad), but they’re opening up. Never be afraid to ask. Might be surprised.

@DaveYouTern: Absolutely. People think internships are only for students. But they’re great for career transition, too.

With all the controversy regarding “unpaid” internships, should we focus only on paid internships in our career development?

@YouTernMark: There are paid internships that suck – and unpaid internships that are amazing. Hard to judge just on paid or unpaid. Everybody’s situation is different, of course. But one thing is constant: interns should never be exploited in any way. If interns collectively refused offers from unethical employers, they would be forced to offer a quality experience.

@EllaTran91: I see internships as great learning experience so I don’t think you should be paid to learn! I personally have gotten so much out of my internships that sometimes, I think I should pay the companies.

@TacomaLynette Know your needs. If you need $$ to survive know you will need 2nd job or paying internship.

@kbaumann: Paid…unpaid….what are you REALLY gaining from the experience? Might outweigh the paycheck. #justsayin

@DaveYouTern: Paid is ideal. But some companies truly can’t afford to pay. One’s personal situation should be balanced against whether the potential experience to be gained is worth the financial deficit. Sometimes the experience is indeed worth it.

–
How do we best show internship experience on our resume, and is there a “best practice” for leveraging our intern activities?

@YouTernMark: Quantify! Quantify! Quantify! With EVERY project, think ahead: “How will I show this achievement on my resume?” “How will I show I exceeded expectations?” Also, be prepared to summarize soft skills gained… what are you good at NOW that creates a value proposition for the employer? Also, show how you were NOT a go-fer, but a contributor. How did you help the mission?

@ThomasCareer: Highlighting accomplishments on the resume is very important. Don’t just list the job duties. See if the internship mentor can help quantify the impact you made on your internship. Did you make money, save money?

@EllaTran91:  Have an online portfolio (articles, videos, presentations,…) to show the work you have accomplished. And don’t forget to get stellar recommendations from supervisors to prove that you were a STAR intern!

@TomBolt: On resume, say what you accomplished during internship. Interning itself is not an accomplishment.

@TheResumeSmith: Show Internships as work experience and include what knowledge you applied, projects you worked on. Also be sure to include your Senior projects (especially Engineers), academic competitions, and IMPACT.
