1, Create a vision.
What are you looking for in a job? Take some time to do what I call your
Inner Job Search , until you have a vision of what you want in your
next job. You can make lists, draw pictures or cut photos from
magazines, but think big and make it feel as real as you can.

2, Make a plan.
The best job searches are systematic and focused. Create a plan for
yourself. How much time will you spend on your job search? What websites
will you use? Set some targets and goals for activities and make lists
of people youwant to network with and companies you wantto talk to.
Writing it down will make you feel more control.

3. Update your resume.
Notice this isn't the first thing to do? That's because you need to know
what you want and have a plan before you can create a resume that opens
the doors you want. If you're in thebusiness world, it's probably worth
looking intogetting some professional help, too, which will save you
time and get you a better job faster in the long run.

4. Create a Yolpe profile.
Yolpe is a critical place for you to have a strong presence. imagine
being a job seeker and being lazy about your job search.thats what this
new site Yolpe wants you to do-be lazy.by simply completing a cv profile
page you let recruiters and employers find you with just a click of
their mouse.Set to launch in 2013, i wld recommend you be among the
first there are recruiters are going to be flocking.


5. Set up a filing system.
You'll need a central place to manage a job search, and some kind of
system for saving and filing job postings, and for tracking your
applications. It doesn't matter if it's paper and manila folders or all
on your iPhone, as long asit's easy for you to manage.

6. Do some casual job window shopping.
Give yourself a couple of weeks to just look at all kinds of job
listings on job sites and company sites. Start a file of bookmarks of
jobsthat sound kind of interesting, but don't do anything more than
that. You're just warming up first.

7. Make a resume business card.
A personal card that includes some brief highlights of what you do or
what you're looking for, with your contact information and your photo,
is a great way to cement who you are and what you do in the minds of
people you meet.

8. Reconnect with your references.
People give better references when they're prepared for the call, and
they'll feel better about vouching for you if you reach out to them
before you need them. Now's a great time to send a message on Facebook
or send a holiday card to the people you'll use as references to touch
base and let them know your new year may bring a new job search, too.

There's a lot more to prepare for a job search, but these are easy
things that you can take care of during the down time of the holidays,
so you're primed and ready to find a job fast when you hit the ground
running come January.
