The Advertised Path

When you think of job hunting, do visions of magic markers and Sunday papers come to mind? Indeed, locating jobs through advertising is the traditional, tried-and-true method. Employer needs employee; employer publishes need; potential employees respond. Channels of advertising include want ads in newspapers, magazines, trade journals, and the Internet.

The following are links to websites that offer job listings and resume-posting services, along with career advice and informational articles.

Ads are also posted on job boards at colleges, universities, and businesses. For example, FIDM students and alumni have access to job listings on an ongoing basis both on campus and online.

Job fairs bring advertising to life by offering access to employers directly. Usually job fairs are held by colleges, universities, large companies, or by a group of companies within one industry, such as health, fashion, or banking. FIDM offers many exciting career events throughout the year that provide students and alumni with job opportunities, networking, and advice.
