It’s that time of year. New BSWs and MSWs will be graduating and in the market for jobs! If you are a new graduate, congratulations! And welcome to the social work profession!

Now is the time to get out there and get started on your professional social work career. Networking is a great job search tool. Let everyone know that you are job seeking. You never know who might have just the contact that will lead to your dream job.

Be sure to sign up with SocialWorkJobBank and post your confidential resume. Make it easy for the employers who are looking for qualified social work professionals to find you. When you post your resume here, employers cannot see your identifying information unless you give the “okay” for them to see it. So, you can reveal your identity to those employers that you are interested in.

At SocialWorkJobBank, you can also sign up to receive a free e-mail job alert. You set the parameters–location, type of job, and so forth. Be among the first to know when a job is posted that you might find of interest.

Use every job search technique you can think of. Network. Sign up for online job boards. Read the classified ads in your local newspaper.

Good luck in your search! I hope you find the job you have been dreaming of!
