Have focus and do research to get there if needed

Understand the types of jobs that would be fit for your skills and qualifications and interests and the settings and industries where you can find those jobs. Even if you are pursuing multiple options, keep your job search efforts targeted. If you are seeking any job, with any type of employer, doing anything, you will not be successful, because employers are seeking focus.

No one job search method will reveal all of the jobs out there

Not every kind of job or industry is represented in every job search method. For example there are many jobs you will not find through the On-Campus Interviewing Program, and there are many jobs you will not find posted on job boards online. And the vast majority of employers do not physically come to campus for fairs and other kinds of recruitment.
