3 Ways College Students Can Earn Money For The Holidays
1. Ask Your Social Network
Ever since Facebook and Twitter hit the scene, this has impacted way more than how college students communicate and socialize, it has impacted how they seek and find employment as well. For example, now you can let your entire network of family and friends know with the click of a button that you’re in the market for a job simply by posting a status update. And since referrals are one of the best ways to land a job or even an interview, social media is a top notch tool for job seekers. The more connected your network the better your odds of landing the ideal job, however you still need to tap into it in the first place. This is why it’s important to friend as many people as possible and to keep your social network accounts (especially Twitter and Facebook) active and engaged.

The reason that you would want to create a website or blog for employment reasons, is that it allows you to showcase your expertise in a way like no other. It speaks volumes about your skill set, your dedication and your aptitude especially if the job you’re after is technology related at all. If you happen to be a finance major and seek an accounting position, a blog is an excellent way to showcase your knowledge in the field and also your skill in web based tools. We highly recommend you start one and learn all you can from blogging, not only could it possibly land you the ideal job it could also make you some coin in the process via site ads.
