null The job market is difficult, at best, which means that job hunters need to put some extra effort into their job search.   It's not enough to apply for a job and hope for the best.

These ten steps you can take to find a new job include where to look for jobs, the best  job sites, how to use your connections, how to ace the interview, and how to follow up.

On a related note, if you're interested in a career change, 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 shot at be contacted for an interview.
