I have highlighted more of of an actual checklist with regards to the new job search process:
YOU SHOULD HAVE:
- A clearer understanding and knowledge of the job search process and have developed a job-search strategy.
- A clear understanding of the jobs that interest you and that I am QUALIFIED for.
- An outline and Clear Career path/track
- Identified Your Strengths and Weaknesses.
- Developed My Personal Selling tools, which will help me Distinguish myself from other job-seekers.
- Identified KEY accomplishments from all school and work experiences. Also identify core transferable skills.
- Identified the main industries/companies that I have an interest in, AND the ones most likely to take an interest in me
- Researched specific companies that most interest me. Don’t limit yourself to your immediate geography
- An understanding of the importance of marketing skills when job-hunting.
- Developed and strengthen network of contacts and know the value and importance of networking in a job search.
- Gathered a key list (including contact information) of references. (Even at an early stage)
