Job-Hunting Preparation: Getting Ready to Find a New Job
The key to job-search success is in the preparation. The better you
accomplish the tasks in this step of job-hunting, the more success
you will have in the later steps.
Here's what you need to undertake during this step:
Know yourself and your career focus. A lot of students have a general idea
of what they want to do, but not the specifics. Take the time to explore jobs
within your career field, as well as the time to really know yourself.
Determine what you have to offer prospective employers. Take the time
to identify the unique accomplishments, skills, and abilities you can
offer employers.
