TalentEgg: TalentEgg founder, Lauren Friese on Canada AM

Lauren made her second appearance on Canada AM this morning to discuss job hunting techniques for students and recent grads.

Here are some of the tips she offered:

* biggest mistake students make is job searching too narrowly, both in the methods they use to find jobs and also in the types of roles they seek
* there are so many more opportunities this year compared to last year
* as we demonstrated during the Focus on Retail event in

March, retail is a valuable work experience for any profession employers from all different industries, not just retail, love retail experience
there are so many amazing resources online, including TalentEgg, and also including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, that can go outside the traditional job searching methods
on a resume, start with your core skills and dont just put in your work experiences but demonstrate your life experiences which will show the employer that youll be a positive return on investment (ROI) for them
link to your online profiles (as long as theyre appropriate!)

Thanks to RW&CO for providing Laurens wardrobe! She visited RW&CO at Yorkdale Shopping Centre in Toronto last week to choose an outfit. We got the whole adventure on video, so stay tuned for that footage later this week!
