ABC's of Job Hunting Always assume a job hunt will take months, not days or weeks and plan accordingly. Be punctual for all appointments - but arrive not earlier than five minutes before the scheduled time. Don't relax just because you have just learned of a dream job. Keep researching, you might find one even better. Follow up every interview with a thank you letter, expressing interest in the job and highlighting one or two of your best qualifications.
Handshakes are important.
Act like you have a high level of energy and look the interviewer in the eye. Information interviews are a great way of making contacts and learning more about your chosen field, and possibly discovering new job leads. Job hunting is a 40-plus hour a week process. Start early, work late and intelligently. Know exactly how to reach interview sites, to avoid any risk of getting lost and arriving late.
