3 STEPS TO A JOB SEARCH PLAN

To be successful in today’s competitive marketplace, you need to have job search plan. This helps maintain your momentum, keeps you organized and ensures you have everything ready when it comes time to meet the prospective employer face to face.

If you have a job search plan for reaching prospective employers, you are doing well. Many people never reach that level of effectiveness. It is so easy to simply send out resumes and hope someone calls, rather than take positive actions which enhance the process of finding a job.

If you are one of the multitudes who do not know an action plan from an anemone, then read the remainder of this article to ensure your job search success.

The job search plan basics: 

First, you need to define your job search goal. What kind of job do you want? What type of organization do you want to work for? How much money do you plan to make? Do you need health benefits? How many hours do you expect to work? The more specific you get, the better you will be able to determine if a job offer (down the road) meets your desired goals or not.

Second, identify what objectives need to be accomplished in order to achieve that goal. You will need a stellar resume in most all instances, an awesome cover letter, perhaps a sheet detailing your salary history, a list of references and perhaps more. Those are the items you will need at the very least. You may have other needs as well, depending upon the industry in which you plan to be working.

Third, describe the specific tasks that need to be done to achieve each objective. When you break each objective down into smaller tasks, it becomes much easier to handle. So, if you need to contact 10 employers per day, break it down like this – make five phone calls before noon, visit three businesses in person and send out two resumes. Make sure you track all of your activities too.

Finally, remember that finding a job is not easy. Finding a job is hard work. However, the rewards are fantastic.
