THE MOST IMPORTANT

JOB SEARCH RULES

Make it easy for others to help you.

Yep, that's it.

If you are unemployed and need to find another job, you need other people to help you in a variety of ways.

Searching for your next employer is a team sport.

• Assemble your team.  But your team needs to know what to do and have the right equipment, knowledge and skills to help you succeed.

• Give your team direction, the more precise, the more detailed, the better.

• You have to share your goal, your objectives, your plan, your progress with your team on a regular basis.  Let them know where you have applied, where you plan to apply and with whom you would like to connect.

• When you do not share with others what you have been doing in your job search, to them it is the same as doing nothing.

• All these pieces are what will equip your team to be able to help you.  And your activity, your efforts and your initiative will motivate them to keep on helping until you reach your goal.

• Do not ask of others what you can do yourself.  And do not forget to offer and give help to those who help you.

Make it easier for employers to select you for the interview. 

• Make other and more direct contacts like in person visits and referrals from your connections. 

• LinkedIn and Facebook are used by 95% of employers because those sources are quick and easy ways for companies to learn more about applicants of interest.

• If you are not using these online resources, what else are you doing to help the employer learn more about you?
