5 Mistakes College Job Seekers Make

Students are not applying for enough jobs. 44% of students only apply to between

one and five jobs at a time.

Failing to do enough of their own networking. While 57% of students say they wish

their schools offered more networking opportunities, students aren’t taking it upon

themselves to ask their career offices for help.

Spending time on Facebook and YouTube when they should be using LinkedIn. 90%

of students use Facebook and 78% are regularly on YouTube, nearly half—46%—say

they never use LinkedIn.

Believing that applying through an employer’s website is all they need to do. 70% of

students turn first to an employer’s website while 65% talk to someone who works

at the company where they want to work.

Taking no for an answer when you get no response from an employer. Nearly half,

49%, of students say that companies never get back to them after they send in their

résumé.
