Before sending applications or booking networking calls, take time to define what you’re actually aiming for. Clarify your target roles, your must-haves, and your nice-to-haves so your search stays intentional — not reactive.
Going into the new year with a clear plan helps you focus your energy, avoid burnout and make better decisions about where to spend your time.

Two polished profiles that tell a consistent story

When these profiles are aligned, recruiters can quickly understand your value and confidently advocate for you.
