Active participation in your job search
Posted by at 10:25 AM

Via Heather's blog, I discovered Staying Grounded. Some high points:

• Select a few job boards on which to post your resume.
  
• Make a list of place you'd like to work and write down why you want to work there. (I would add, what benefit would the company obtain from hiring you?)
  
• Organize a file about each company, specifically looking for people whom you know there and what the company does.
  
• Look at their open positions every week, and when you find a position that interests you, contact the employee(s) you know to see if they will refer you.
