How to Conduct a Job Search

You may be aware of all the advice that follows. This how-to simply serves as a reminder.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 
    

   Determine the characteristics, qualities, and experience interviewers are seeking. Then revisit your resume and tailor your experience to suit the interviewers needs.

2. 
    

   Continue your job search until you receive a written job offer. Verbal ones aren't enough.

3. 
    

   Record the companies you send your resume to. There's nothing less attractive than having a jobseeker say, where are you from? I sent my resume to so many places I can't keep track.

4. 
    

   Emails are informal, but during the interview process leave common shorthand behind and write full sentences.

5. 
    

   When you are searching for a job and the phone rings, turn down the volume of your television and remove kids from the room.
