To be more effective in your job search, you want to have a clear goal in mind and use a mix of job search strategies.
First, target your search. Your job search will be more effective if you have a clear goal vs. looking for any job. Think how long it would take a realtor to find you a house if you started by telling her, "I'll take anything" when in reality you want a two-bedroom house near your work that costs under $250,000. This fact is true in a job search as well. The clearer you are about the job you want the more effective you’ll be in your search.
Second, research employers. Identify employers you're interested in working for and learn about the positions they typically hire. Review their website, follow them on LinkedIn, and set up informational interviews with current employees to learn more about the company culture and which skills and experience hiring managers look for in candidates.
Third, customize your application materials. This step is much easier if you've identified a clear job target and researched employers, as mentioned above. Customizing your resume doesn't mean starting over every time you apply for a job, but it does mean tailoring your resume to each position for which you're applying. Get help with our resume and cover letter resources.
Fourth, network. Networking is much more effective than only applying to jobs found online. Employers prefer to hire candidates they know or have been referred to them by a current employee. Creating a solid professional network is essential to improve your chances of learning about open positions and getting a referral from someone. See our Networking resources for more tips.
