Job Hunting - Are You Ready?
by Dorene Lehavi, Ph.D.

The Final Checklist

So, you are ready to go get that new job. You’ve spent time identifying your dream job to the next step in your career. You are armed with new information and you are now ready to begin your search. Are you?

Before you make those calls or mail those resumes take a few minutes and review these 6 final steps in job preparation that will help you be successful.

Resume
You have revised your resume. It reflects your best self and you feel confident about how you have presented yourself on paper. Don’t be trapped by negative thoughts about your experience or pervious positions. You feel eager and ready.

Key Words
You have done the research and know your target jobs and work places. You used the same words and key phrases in the body of your resume that the employer used in their ads. You featured your skills and interests in your cover letters and in your interview notes.

Positive Self-Talk
You are confident about your strengths and the value you bring that is uniquely yours. You have worked on your self-esteem and confidence. You tell yourself over and over everyday that you are an asset to any company.

Growth Plan
What are the steps to reach your ultimate goal? Will you accept an interim position to do some learning about your chosen field or about yourself? Are you clear about what questions you will ask about development or advancement opportunities?

Balance Work and Play
You have thought about what you will do differently in this new job, such as, having more time to play outside of work, handling new challenges and co-worker camaraderie? Get clear on your compromises before you accept any offers.

Salary
Are you clear on your annual salary needs? Are you prepared to confidently answer the questions “What salary do you expect?” To what degree are you willing to take a lower salary or a job below the one you dream of? Can you be ok with a stopping place if it is not permanent? Get real clear on these issues and don’t settle.
