Other tips… Target your resume – don’t have one
general resume Networking is still the #1 way to get a job
– cultivate those relationships Use job search resources that are specific
for what you want (industry or geography) rather than using very broad, general tools
Be persistent, but professional Remember searching for a job is a full-
time job.
