It's been a historical week for the U.S., and all the more reason to keep at your job-search.
This year's inaugural
Job Action Day
was a huge success -- and we expect it to be even bigger
and better next year!
But don't let the momentum stop! If you heeded the advice and took action on your career
this past Monday, make a point to keep at it until you find a new job that is right for
you -- or until you further secure your current job.
With that advice in mind, here are some suggestions for both job-seekers and workers.
For job-seekers:
Make a new network contact daily
Update your resume and interviewing skills
Follow-up on all job leads you uncover
Research potential employers whose culture fits yours
Look into additional training, education, or certifications
Apply for job listings directly from company career centers
For workers:
Meet with your boss informally to discuss your accomplishments
Seek out new opportunities to make a name for yourself
Learn a new skill or position to make yourself more indispensable
Find a mentor and/or talk to your mentor about the future
Show your loyalty to the organization (even if you are not)
Build your brand externally so you are better known in your industry/profession
