JOB SEARCH MANUAL

Key Points to Remember:

• You are in charge of your job search project!
• You must take full responsibility for it.
• You must make a personal commitment to the task at hand for it to succeed.
• This is a full-time activity, and is probably the hardest job you have ever done.

How long will it take you to find the right position? Unfortunately, we cannot specify just when you will land that job. We do know that this program will work. How well it works for you will depend on your commitment, effort, self discipline, attitude and desire. You must work to maintain confidence in your abilities, your experiences and your own competence.

We will help you.

The time required to secure another position will depend directly on the amount of preparation (and time) that you put into the effort, how well you come to know yourself (and are able to relay that to the employer), and your willingness to listen, take advice, and most importantly, carry on despite any set backs.

Elements for your Action Plan are covered in this course. Once the preparatory work is done, you will be systematically following the job search portion of the plan. Remember, looking for work is a full-time job--selling yourself!
