Prepare. The only way that you will be successful in your job search is to prepare. Make phone calls, mail resumes to employers you are interested in, and send emails. Remain patient, yet diligent. Your resume should be in hand anytime you speak with or visit a possible employer. Even when emailing an employer, you must include your resume, either copied and pasted or as an attachment. Good luck with your new job!
