Job Hunting in this complex environment



In today's environment, finding a job is a complex challenge. The process of finding a great job begins with a proactive mindset. Become visible and relevant to people within a targeted sector. You have to stand out and be noticed (and in a good way.)

The first step is to network with decision makers and potential colleagues in your target sector(s). They may be a resource to you in finding a new job. Social networks such as FaceBook, LinkedIn, and Twitter have become outstanding avenues for meeting people with similar interests who can identify or help with job opportunities.

Make sure your resume and online career profiles clearly demonstrate the value you can bring to an organization. The best way to start is to get professional help in creating a hard-hitting resume and cover letter that will automatically give you an edge over people who decide to "go it alone" with career materials.

With your professionally prepared resume and other career materials posted online, you'll impress potential employers as well as your network contacts, and you'll tackle the job search challenge with confidence.
