Here are 6 more helpful tips to have a successful job search:
- Watch what you say and never bash a former employer.
- Dress for the job you want.
- Ask yourself what does a prospective employer need and how can I fulfill that need.
- Be aware of trends in your field. This will help you remain competitive in the marketplace and know when it’s time to beef up your skills to stand out from the crowd.
- Get support. People who have the support of a group, do better 100 percent of the time.
- Focus on what you can control. You can’t control the economy or the job market but you can control your reaction to it. Remain positive and pro-active.
