Define a clear job search plan

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 to be more intentional with your search, less haphazard.

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.

Develop two consistent profiles to share your story

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