Stay FOCUSED during your job search!

Initial Assessment The job search can sometimes feel like a lonely, frustrating process. So many things already need your attention and the added responsibility of trying to find a new job can make it that much more overwhelming!

However, in order for your job search to be successful, there are certain steps you just can't afford to neglect, no matter how hectic things get. That's why we're here to help!

The JobSearch Director^TM automated job search assistant helps you master the most critical areas of your job search, by providing you with a step-by-step checklist and links to helpful resources. Because we're all unique, our distinct needs and skills will affect the actions we take during our searches. Everyone's journey will be different and will require a special combination of strategies for success.

Each objective below relates to a critical area of your job search. Some just require a quick review to update you, others may require a quiz or other training, to master the objective. Your responses will determine which job search areas may need the most attention.

To get started with your job search checklist, answer each job search objective below by checking the box to indicate that you feel you have mastered the objective, or leaving it unchecked, to indicate that you may need some help with the topic. When you are finished, click "Submit". JobSearch Director^TM will analyze your responses, then e-mail your customized job search checklist. Use this plan as a guide during your job search, to ensure you stay focused on the areas that will produce the best results.
