Job Search Basics

This edition of Career Brainfood is the first in a series of basic job search tips. No matter your level of accountability, from entry-level to executive suite, these tips can apply to you:

▪ Remember: Quality over quantity. You only need one company to hire you. Spend time identifying the right companies to work for, not contacting hundreds of companies.
▪ Learning how to sell yourself in a job search is the most important skill you will ever need, no matter what job you have.
▪ When conducting a confidential job search, don’t submit your resume to job fair organizers; often these are distributed to all participating companies.
▪ It’s tempting to spend time on the Internet when you’re job hunting. It can help alleviate stress and it feels like you’re doing something, but it’s not always productive.
▪ Always try to find a human being to connect with at a target company. Never email generic departments (like HR@companyname.com).
