Please use San Antonio, TX
Let's practice using this resource. Google "Your City Chamber of Commerce" (example, Dallas Chamber of Commerce). You might also Google a nearby or desired city's chamber of commerce. Next, look for a Member Directory, then look for a "Category" or "Industry" tab and select your desired or current industry. Next, it should bring up a list of local companies. Then report back to the class:
- List 3+ companies that you found and 1-3 quick tips about each company (i.e. core values, their industry, competitors, etc.)
- Visit their website and tell us if there is a Careers area for job postings. What jobs did you find?
- Would you consider applying to these companies? Why or Why not?
- Do you think the Chamber website could be useful to your job search? How will you use this resource moving forward?
- How might you incorporate LinkedIn after identifying companies of interest on the Chamber's website?
