Ten Steps to Finding a Job or Changing Your Career

Saturday June 14, 2008

The job market is difficult, which means that job seekers may need to put some extra effort into their job search. These ten steps you can take to find a new job include where to look for jobs, the top job sites, how to use your connections, how to ace the interview, and how to follow up.

On a related note, changing your career is a little different than job searching for the same type of position you have now. If you're interested in a new career, it is important to take the time to evaluate your present situation, to explore career options, and to choose a career that will be satisfying for you. Follow these ten steps to a successful career change to explore options and choose a new career within or outside your current industry or career field.

In both cases, what's most important is that you stand out from the job searching crowd and get noticed as a candidate by the hiring manager. Making not just a good, but a great impression, will give you the best chance of getting called for an interview.
