Successful Job Search Methods
(Overall and by Field)
Survey of Recent UCSD Graduates


Graduating UCSD students used a wide variety of search strategies to secure their first jobs out of college. Forty percent of employed respondents utilized online job listings to find their positions, including listings found on the Career Services Center’s Port Triton and employer web sites. Networking techniques, and internship/previous experience combined accounted for one-third of successful job outcomes. Direct employer contact methods, including job fairs and on-campus interviewing, resulted in employment for approximately 20 percent of respondents.
