Keep copies of all your correspondence. Remember, finding a job can be a full-time job in itself. Be persistent and keep yourself on a manageable schedule. Develop weekly goals and stick to them. For instance, set goals to research two new firms a day, send out 3-5 targeted resumes and cover letters a week, set up one informational interview a week, and attend a networking event once or twice a month.
Job hunting takes time.
Don't forget to take time out to reward yourself and to get emotional support from family, friends, and colleagues in the same boat. Have fun finding your way in and around the Hidden Job Market. All Rights Reserved.
