Be Ready for
the Next Big Job
Whether you are looking for your first
job or thinking about making a change,
these tips will help you organize your
job search.
1. Update or create a brief, one-page
resume. You are more likely to get a
call or interview with a summary rather
than a novel about your skills, training,
and abilities.
2. Collect rave reviews. Keep and make copies
of instructor evaluations, online reviews, or
thank-you notes from clients.
3. Check your social media files. Hide or delete—
and stop posting—any posts or pictures that
you would not like a future employer to see.
4. Develop your list of references and have them
ready to go. Ask permission now for those that
you want to use as personal or professional
references.
