Are You Ready?
Whether you intend to change jobs or careers now or sometime in the future,
make sure you are ready to take advantage of new opportunities.
Continue to develop your skills, acquire new ones and broaden
your work experience so you are as marketable as possible.
You should also keep your resumé current so you can respond
quickly to opportunities that interest you.
Network
Networking can also help open doors for you. Coworkers, friends and family
members may be able to help you find job leads.
To broaden your network, consider the following:
- Joining appropriate professional organizations.
- Joining professional social networks both in your city of interest or in your field of specialty.
- Contacting alumni from your college who work in your chosen field.
- Volunteering in your community.
Education
Furthering your education is a good way to enhance your resumé.
The job market is a very competitive place so the more you have
to offer the better your chances are to be considered for upper level jobs.
Research
Even if you are not looking for a new job or career change right now,
you still want to be aware of possible opportunities.
Surfing the Internet is a quick and easy way to see what opportunities
are available. You can also attend job fairs and visit college career centers
and libraries.
