How to get 6 job offers before graduating

5 months before graduation, Suneil Kamath received 6 offers and here are 4 tips for you to successfully job hunt.

Start early

Each company has a different hiring season. Some start around July and August, while others start in May. The summer before I graduated, I made a list of my favorite companies in an Excel spreadsheet. In it, I listed the deadlines for submitting applications as well as the necessary documents to complete my application.

Connect, connect and connect

Meeting the right people can make it easier to get an interview or a job offer. In fact, most of the companies I've interviewed with have people I know there.

If you are sincere enough, people will be willing to talk to you and give you advice and recruitment information.

At this point, some of you are probably thinking to yourself, I don’t have that advantage. If so, start building those relationships. Get out there with your friends, teachers, alumni, and coworkers. They may know people at the company you’re trying to get an interview with. If you’ve tried that and it doesn’t work, try sending random emails to your teachers. If you’re sincere enough, people will be willing to talk to you, help you, and give you advice.

Quality over quantity

Don’t just send out applications to every company without thinking about it. Take the time to ask yourself what you really want to do in the future and only apply to positions and companies that support you in achieving that goal. Also, tailor your cover letter and resume to each position and company you apply to. This will help the employer understand how your abilities and skills match the position and whether you fit the company culture.

Expand your options

Every year, magazines feature the most desirable companies to work for. And yes, they are great places to apply. However, they are not the only places where you can learn, contribute, and gain great experience. There are many other companies that can offer similar experiences. So keep your options open.

If you do the things I just listed, I guarantee you will get great offers like I did.
