Publications and media related to your chosen field of endeavor can help you to understand industry trends/issues and to learn keywords that you can use in your rsums and applications.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Networking is the process of making informal connections with a broad sphere of mutually beneficial business contacts. Research suggests that it is currently the most common way that employees find jobs. Helpful networks are available in person and online. You can find them by reading news sites, blogs, and other online sources, by participating in student business organizations, and by visiting trade shows that cater to the industry you're interested in. Volunteering in social, civic, and religious organizations can also help you create a network for yourself.
Because networking is a mutually beneficial activity, look for opportunities to help others in some way when you are trying to make business connections. Focusing on relationships that benefit both you and the other person are more likely to be effective.
