Here are some job search tips.



1. Know thyself.

Identify what really interest and excites you. Understand that

these traits define you and use it to explore career choices and

opportunities.

2. Take a career assessment test.

There are a lot of career assessment tests available online. Find

the time to take one. The test gives you a lot of insights about

your core competencies and work preferences.

3. Ask others.

It's actually quite difficult to see yourself as others do. It

would be to your advantage to ask friends and family on your

traits and skills. Your co-workers are also a good source of

information. Knowing how they perceive you, what they like and

don't like about you and what skills or traits need to be changed

can be helpful in determining your professional profile.

4. What moves you?

Would you be more interested in status or a six figure salary? Do

you want to make a difference in your community and the world or

just on your company's net worth?

5. Take charge.

In the '80s, when you worked for a large company, you usually

could conclude that you would be working there for your entire

career. In those days, the corporation drove your career path,

advancing as it saw fit.

At the turn of the century, times have changed. In the span of

your career, you would probably work for at least five companies.

In most cases, you will probably work for more than five. Know

which career track you desire, and make sure that track brings

you to where you wish to go.

6. Determine the company fit.

With the current emphasis on streamlined and productivity-focused

companies, the cultural and company fit are just as important as

the professional goals. Consider the values and principles of the

company and compare them with your own. It is important that you

feel comfortable and fit in with company.

7. Free your mind.

The career path you choose is about change and more change. It

includes expansion and new opportunities. All of these changes

require a desire to journey and discover.

8. Balance is the key.

A huge amount of time is devoted to your career when you are in

your 20s and 30s. When you reach your 40s, your personal life

might take precedence and maybe more important to you. Find a

corporation that will provide you with a balance in your work and

your life.

9. Don't hang around.

If you're not satisfied with the way your career is going, go do

something. Always be in control of your career path to have a

satisfying career.
