4. How will you leverage or incorporate LinkedIN

In my job search, I would utilize LinkedIn to:  Updating my LinkedIn profile.  Providing specific details about my present abilities and goals.

 Highlighting my most recent work and coursework.  Let others know that I'm looking for work or that I'm available for a job.  Do some research on the firms I'm interested in and keep track of them.  Look for job openings in alumni organizations relevant to your school.  Join LinkedIn Professional Groups as a member.

5. How will you leverage your Northeastern network?

My Northeastern connections would undoubtedly assist me in finding work. Academic advisers, co-op advisors, and a multitude of Northeastern University career fairs, as well as various activities sponsored by the employment participation and design professional, networking with Northeastern alumni, and Northeastern University career workshops, would undoubtedly help me in my job search. 6. Have you identified / joined any relevant professional associations or groups in your field?

I have identified some professional associations and groups in my field: 1. Project Management Alumni Network - College of Professional Studies: This group keeps me up to date on college project management related updates as well as fresh job vacancies at various companies. 2. Alert program: This program features excellent lectures from a variety of industry professionals to keep me up to date in this sector. 3. Northeastern University Project Management Updates (NUPM) 4. International Project Management Association (PMA): - It is a Networking firm for all young and aspiring project managers

7. What tools and resources at Northeastern do you plan to leverage

NUworks is an excellent resource for locating co-op and internship opportunities. The career design services include resume, cover letter, interviewing, and job, co-op, and internship search assistance. The career fairs organized by the job engagement and career design team will be extremely beneficial. In order to prepare for an interview, elevator pitch training and major interview software would be beneficial. These are only a few of the alternatives offered at Northeastern University, but there are many more that can assist me in finding a job.

8. What is a reasonable timeline (include key milestones) As soon as I finish this course, I'll be registering at NUworks. My first priority for the summer quarter, which runs from July 5 to September 16, would be to get a co-op or internship (for 11 weeks). Another alternative is to find a co-op that offers opportunities from summer to fall quarter. This deadline/timeline is for the purpose of this deadline/timeline. I'll start aggressively looking for co-op/internship opportunities towards the end of March. Then I'd use Northeastern's, LinkedIn's, and academic professors' resources to get a co-op as soon as possible. My initial intention is to establish a cooperative between July 5th and July 5th, 2022.
