Ways to find your dream job

Today, the unemployment rate of veterinary professionals is at an all time low. However, just because there are plenty of jobs available, it doesn’t mean that they are all the perfect job for you.

Just like dating, job seeking means you are going to have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince. Here are a few tips to find a job that's right for you.

 Start with your network

Everybody knows someone who knows someone. If you ask your friends, colleagues, and teachers for recommendations, the chances are good you'll find someone who can help you in your field. A great place to start is by asking around, and seeing what your network has to offer. If they know of a job in the career you love, you'll already have a recommendation from someone who works there.

Use LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a social media site specifically for networking. It's a great way to show off your credentials while at the same time connecting with the people you know. If you haven't already, shine up your profile and share some of your knowledge so people can truly see how great you are.

 Try Job Fairs or Veterinary meetings

Job fairs and veterinary meetings are a great way to meet companies looking to hire. You can get an edge by checking out the companies who will be there in advance, and doing your research on the companies you like. You'll already know something about them when you arrive, which gives you a more polished, professional appearance. Bring a personalized business card so they'll have an easy way to contact you if interested.

Finding your dream job can be tough, but with these pointers you'll be ahead of the pack. Don't settle for less than your dream job. You're worth the extra effort it may take to reach that goal.
