Begin by defining what you are looking for in your career as well as the kind of workplace you’d like to be part of. To narrow your search, align your goals with the jobs you’re seeking. Once you’ve targeted specific jobs you should conduct a thorough research of each company. Use tools such as Crunchbase to gather a quick overview of the size of the company and funding history, as well as details about the leadership team, investments, mergers, and much more. This will give you a sense of an overview of the market landscape and can help you answer the right questions during an interview.
Build a network of people who will provide support and help you find your dream job. This includes former and current managers, coworkers, customers and coworkers and friends and acquaintances. When connecting with people in your network be specific in your reasons for why you’re contacting them and how they can benefit you.
Set goals and plan your applications, networking efforts and follow-ups. You’ll know exactly what you’ll need to accomplish each week. Don’t be afraid to try new things or adjust your plan if that something isn’t working.
