Tips

• Interested in a job at a large enterprise? LinkedIn is one of the best tools for this. You can view the number of applicants for a job posting on LinkedIn and if you have premium, you can take advantage of viewing how you compare to other applicants
• A mentor can offer you personalized advice for your professional development. Mentors may offer critiquing your resume, introducing you to their connections, or answering your industry-specific questions. There are several ways to find a mentor, such as:
  • Skule Alumni Mentorship Program.
  • UofT Engineering Connect (for engineering students). It can also suggest matches for you.
  • Career & Co-Curricular Learning Network (CLNx). Offers mentorship programs for a variety of programs at UofT, from Poli Sci to Dentistry
  • Ten Thousand Coffees
  • A mentorship program offered by a club
• The Muse claims that 80% of jobs are not posted–they’re found instead through networking. Take advantage of networking opportunities at the university, such as career fairs, conferences, networking receptions, and mentorship. Do you have a friend or connection who works at the company you’re interested in? Try to get a referral.
