The Work Search

Looking for employment is one of the most challenging jobs you will ever have. Finding "your" job rather than "a" job is important, as work plays a big role in contributing to the sense of satisfaction in your life. As you begin to look for your next position, think about how it fits into your overall career plan. Is it work that will give you the experience you need to begin or continue your progression toward your longer-term career goals? Is it work you will enjoy doing? Will you feel passionate about it?

This section on the work search will help you:

  • Get ready for your work search

  • Use traditional methods to find job openings

  • Use creative methods to find employment

  • Research employers

  • Network: develop leads and make contacts
