Summary
When you're hunting for a new job, the biggest challenges are always knowing where to start, how to get organized, and figuring out the most effective way to approach your job search.
MORE FOR YOU. See the resource section at the end of this article for an example of a "Job Search Goals" list, written for an event planning job.
The key to an effective job search is building a sustainable schedule in which you balance searching for a job with self-care so you don't go completely crazy and burn yourself out.
Another tool I've created is a template for a Job Search Weekly Plan., which includes a balance of searching for jobs in online job boards with different, but equally important job-search tactics such as talking to friends and acquaintances about possible job opportunities, professional networking, etc.
Another great tip for your job search is to leverage groups like Albert's List.
Conducted by Learn Analytics, I dive a little deeper into these strategies and share the tools I've created that job seekers can adapt to help with their own job search.
Give your friends, family, and network the tools to help you with your job search by clearly outlining what you are seeking.
Create your own version of the Job Search Spreadsheet sample that I've created.
Check in with a friend once a week for 30 minutes and go over what you've done the last few weeks for your job search.
Having a solid strategy for your job search is important to maximize your success of finding a new job.
