Now is a natural time to look at the past year's efforts and result in your job search and decided how to change your job search strategy and get more traction and results in your job search!
Job Search Tips 101
1) Get focused on what type of job you are looking for.
2) Create a new resume or update /edit a pre-existing resume for your current job search campaign.
I am firm believer in multiple versions to serve various job opportunities that you are considering.
Create customized resume to focus on the skill set that are listed on the job listings that you are applying for.
Also less is better on the length of your resume for your initial submissions. You can take the longer version to the actual interview.
I will be getting into more details on this in my blog and future Tele Seminars.
3) Create a list of target companies/industries that you would like to work for. I am suggesting you start with 100-200 companies and all their contact information.
Gather all the appropriate contact information you will need to follow up on during your job search campaign.
I am advising creating this information in Microsoft Excel if you are familiar with that software.
Create different spreads sheets for different industries.
I will be getting into more detail on this in my blog, Tele conferences and the suggested reading job search products listed on www.TheJobSearchExperts.com
