It is time, help yourself

By Yameng Zhang

Abby Kohut is the author of 101 Job Search Secrets with over 15 years of recruiter experience. On Thursday evening, she shared some of her invaluable secret advice to college job seekers.

    There is one thing that kept me thinking—to help ourselves to get a job, we’d better help others. This may sounds like a Bibletalk like “you have to love others to love yourself”. However, it started to make sense after I heard her explanation. In a world networking works everywhere, how can we really use our network to help us on job hunting? Be a good person who is willing to help first to make a good impression.

    Everyone has connections somewhere, maybe those are not directly help us right now, but some of those connections may just be the ones your friends or acquaintances are looking for. So before you try to figure out whom to ask for help, find out what you can offer them first. Believe Abby or not, helping the others is helping yourself.
