Read the job description and mine it for key words related to the position.

#1 Sharpen your tools.
By tools, we mean things like a resume, and a cover letter. You need to look at your resume like a tool that has a specific purpose, or is meant to perform a certain task. Like a hammer is made to drive nails, you can look at a resume as a tool to get you an interview. A common saying you may have heard is that the resume gets you the interview, and the interview gets you the job. With that in mind, always be willing to revisit the structure and content of your resume. It could be the nicest, neatest document you have ever crafted, however if it is not getting you interviews, it is worth re-examining. Also, spend the time to modify or target your resume to specific jobs and employers you are applying to. Read the job description and mine it for key words related to the position. Try to incorporate these into your resume. Experienced recruiters can spot a generic resume quite easily, and this in a sense tells them you have not put much effort into your application (which your competition might be doing).

#2 Look at alternative methods to finding opportunities.
Not all jobs are posted on online job boards. In fact, most aren’t posted at all. Many in the Career development field pin the percentage at about 80 per cent of jobs that are not being advertised. One unique way to uncover employers that hire grads from your program is to check out the Ryerson Alumni report. This is a series of binders located in the Career Development & Employment Centre (CDEC) that track the organizations and the job titles of Ryerson grads according to the program they graduated from. You can examine your own program and go back through the years to see where people are working, and what they are doing. These types of employers are good organizations to start applying to or contacting directly through cold calling.

Like a hammer is made to drive nails, you can look at a resume as a tool to get you an interview.

#3 Proper preparation for interviews.
According to Farrah Francis, who worked as a campus recruiter for IBM, the number one mistake students and new grads make when interviewing is an inability to accurately recount their experiences. Students tend to focus more on their duties and responsibilities instead of clearly describing their accomplishments and achievements. Farrah recommends you use the Background, Action, Results (BAR) approach to describe the background of what you did, how you did it and what were the results. The BAR approach also works well when you craft your resume.

The intent of this article is to get your thinking about your job search more critically. It by no means covers everything. Take advantage of the resources on campus to assist you such as workshops, resume advisors in the CDEC, and the Ryerson CareerVault online job posting system (go to www.ryerson.ca/career and click on “Students & Alumni” to create an account and search jobs).

With the end of the school year approaching, many students will soon be leaving the city, and their part-time jobs, behind for the summer months.

The pressure she felt from the store manager to not quit was enough for her to try and bypass the whole situation.

Jenn Fata, a first-year interior design student, had been working as a cashier at Garden Basket for three and a half months before deciding to quit the Markham grocery store.

“I kind of wimped out,” said Fata.

Instead of submitting her two-weeks notice to the manager of the store, Fata ignored protocol and delivered the letter to her department head instead.

The pressure she felt from the store manager to not quit, she said, was enough for her to try and bypass the whole situation.

According to Marie Misiti, human resource and labour relations manager for Zehrs Markets Canada, this is not the best way to resign from a job, even if it is only a part-time position.

“Once you have decided to leave your job, the key is to just stay calm,” said Misiti.

“Give your two weeks notice, fill out any exit surveys or interviews the employer may ask of you and provide them with honest and truthful feedback,” she said. “Your former employer will appreciate it if you are respectful and understanding during this time, which will benefit you in the long-run when you need them as references.”

Graduates from Ryerson’s business school are making a mark in the business world, using their university experiences as one of their primary tools to succeed in the competitive world of business. David Lyons is one such graduate.

“With Ryerson being a city-university, very practical knowledge is delivered. It gives you the hands-on-experience and the theory, obviously. But with projects and other stuff, it prepares you for what you need,” said Lyons.

Lyons, who graduated from the Ted Rogers School of Management with a Marketing Major in 2007, is the Marketing and Member Development Manager at the Ontario Institute of the Purchasing Managers Association of Canada (PMAC).

Sitting in his office in a high-rise downtown building with a clear view of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario, Lyons took some time out of his busy work schedule to tell us about his experience at Ryerson and his journey afterwards.

While he only got the opportunity to study at the new building of the Ted Rogers School of Management in his final year, he considers that branding the school of business under a separate name is reaping great benefits for the students. “In the long run, it will certainly hold some weight,” he said.

Lyons also praised the Business Careers Program at the Ted Rogers School. “It was actually the Business Careers program that helped me find this position. It’s a great program and I highly recommend it to anybody; it opens doors because the job market is hard. When you’re out there, its high competition, so any niche portal that you can be given puts you a step ahead of anybody else,” he said.

Lyons mentioned that even though Ryerson’s Business Program might not be as highly ranked, it is starting to get its fair bit of recognition among business professionals. “It’s definitely building up steam– It’s going in the right direction,” he said.

Noting that while the recession has been really bad for some professions, he said that in some ways it has benefited the Supply Chain Management field.

“It’s got a lot more attention, a lot more focus,” he said, “A lot of business’ actually turned to their supply chain department to help run a little bit more lean and to turn a profit when revenues are down.”

He also mentioned that after the recent decline in new employment, companies are again looking to rehire and that more jobs are cropping up, especially in the field of supply chain management.

Lyons also had some valuable advice for students going out into the job market. He stressed the importance of continuing education, since it shows how much an individual is committed to his or her field of study, besides being honest in whatever work they do.

“What I would recommend for people going out there is to be honest,” he said, “If you don’t have the infield experience, just say that you want to learn.”
