Applying for work these days is one giant algorithm. If your resume/application doesn’t tick the keywords in the right way, it may not see the light of day in some organizations.

So the key to finding work in your small community is networking.
–Make calls…to HR departments…to people in positions/industries you want to learn more (mentor approach)
–Send emails from your umich.edu account
–Show up at job fairs and introduce yourself to the HR folks everywhere in that room. They can be a tight group amongst themselves.
–Master your “elevator pitch”
–Attend events (charity ones if need be) to meet people in your community, and look them in the eye… shake their hand. Offer to support their cause.

Have you looked up any alumnus in your community?
