Showcase your work and knowledge:



It is not valuable if you do something and do not show it to the world. If you have done something related to the position you are applying for show it to the interviewers. Maintain blogs, prepare slides or YouTube videos related to the work you have done.



Highlights yourself on industry specific websites like  LinkedIn profile as it is one of the popular forums for the companies to search a desirable employee and for the job seekers to demonstrate the knowledge and experience.



Find a mentor through Networking:



Whether you are working or searching for work, making contacts is always a good step. Never skip a chance to interact with the experts when you attend any meeting, seminar or conference. Develop contacts with your seniors and teachers during college.



Find a knowledgeable mentor. Your mentor can be a lecturer, professor, advisor and other students with experience in the field you want to work. Mentors are there to guide you, to inspire you and to bring up your confidence.
