Get ready. Get organized
It's the little things that make all the difference in the world ... like staying organized and making sure you present yourself professionally. Set your stage for success!
- I have a place at home to do my job searching
- I have a computer to use for my job search (or access to one)
- I’m comfortable using email and internet search
- I know how to create a resume
- I have a professional email address (not “cutiepieloveschocolate@msn.com”)
- I have a dedicated phone number (ideally, a cell phone) that only I will answer
- I have a professional voicemail message on that phone number
- Have at least 3 “champions” or friend to support & encourage me (and they know I’m looking for a job)
- I have thank-you cards + stamps ready to send out after meetings & interviews
