1. A clear statement of purpose is achieved with time
The longer you think, and you try to set goals, the more evident the goal. It's not really advice, consider that this epigraph. :)
2. Highlight areas of your business
I think now more or less smyshlony young man can handle anyone in the online trades with due diligence and desire to learn.
3. Choose what company to work
Not by name and brand, and by type of activity and industry.
4. Count the money
Try to figure out how much time you can devote to search, not to have to set aside your financial goals. For example, buying a MacBook or a tour in Europe. Calculate roughly spend in a month, and then calculate the estimated time to look for work, so you do not make a decision under the pressure of financial circumstances.
5. Do not go nowhere
This, of course, romantic, but I stress (stress) began to grow after the third week of the search.
6. Do not place in the public domain resume
Your current management can not understand. It is better to put access to the summary on the link and match job themselves. But this does not insure you of what someone might want to get from your supervisor review. :)
7. Get familiar with your attitude to work
Think about what you like and what a pleasure than money. For example, I like to communicate and complete the task. And so if you need a job? Maybe it's time to try to do his own business?
8. Highlight for itself performance measures
It can be a guide, location, income, scope of your responsibilities. Make a sign in the Google Docs, where you are going to compare different positions (options) work. Imagine, if you choose a laptop. I think there will always be times when you will not know what to fill the column in the table. This is normal. But the label is still adequate help to look at the options.
9. Ask at a job interview, how to pass your time
Find out what proportion will be allocated duties on time and priority is given to immediate supervisor.
10. If after four interviews you could not get a job, make conclusions
Describe in a notebook what you did, what kind of feedback received, which can give yourself advice for the future.
11. Be sure to ask for feedback after the test task
It will be helpful to know how your skills are relevant.
12. Criticize his career with a third party
You can, for example, to win back his mother. :) Try to allocate clear Errors career pathWhich can be seen from the outside. For example, do not notice the results, it is unclear whom to work, no recommendations, no one in the industry does not know you. This will help get rid of the views of his ego.
13. Count your conversions, how to get a final job offer
So you could focus on this figure. It helps not to worry and not to give its input voltage you into the abyss of despair. I thought the conversion of this: the number of hits - the number of invitations - interesting invitation - which have (offer). Then considered at each stage of the funnel conversion.
14. Think about your development strategy
Seek time - this time pause before the big races, so it's best to immediately determine where you run, and not rejoice too soon, even if you have to "Yandex".
15. Find second jobs or clients
Do it if you can not afford to interrupt the flow of money, eg due to financial goals and circumstances. Finding a new place and second jobs can be quite compatible.
16. Make plans for a week, if you are not very good with the motivation and discipline
When you start to wake up when it is convenient to you, and walk when you want, it is very difficult to force yourself to join in a not very inspiring job search process.
17. Avoid deprivation
This is when you are deprived of something important. For example, for me the work was and remains a significant part of life. So when I was not needed sharply customers, superiors and colleagues, I felt deprivation. This makes it difficult not to forget about their own dignity - a very important thing for interviews and negotiations.
