Secrets of a Successful Job Search

Because today's job market is so competitive, it is now essential to set up a battle plan if you want to land a job as fast as possible. There are several factors you should consider to build an effective job search strategy.

What is your niche?
Before you start applying to job openings you should take a step back to assess your strengths and experience and see if they match your current job or if you would be more qualified for another job. It's never too late to make a career change if you have the right qualifications, so think about this before you start writing your resume and send job applications.

Tell Employers what they want to hear
You need to show employers that you will be a good fit for the job and bring value to the company, which means you might have to slightly customize your resume to the jobs you're applying to. Make a list of the skills that you have and are relevant to each position; then use these skills to prepare a different resume for each of these positions.

Job Search Steps
* Choose the job you want
* Choose where you want to live
* Choose companies that are good for you

Implement your job search by: 

1. posting your resume online and looking for jobs on employment sites.
2. Sending unsolicited direct mail to companies that you would like to work for.
3. doing some networking. 4. going to job fairs.

The Interview
Preparing for interviews is mandatory. Not only should you do your homework by learning more about the companies you're applying to, but you should also demonstrate in details what a great fit you are for the job and the company. Make sure to also prepare a couple of questions that show you are interested. As for making a good impression, suits for men and dresses for women are usually the rule - also don't forget to be well groomed and have good manners.

After the Interview
If you're still interested in the job after meeting with the company, it is recommended to follow up with a thank you later where you will show how excited you are about the position and emphasize again what assets you will bring to the company.
