// Tips For An Effective Job Search

-  Make a “to do” list every day. Outline daily activities to look for a job.

-  Be a good "JOB HUNTER", meaning look at company job postings on websites and read the job description, responsibilities, and hourly wage.  A good job hunter is considered to be more educated about the job(s) he/she is applying for!

-  Apply for jobs early in the day. This will make a good impression and give you time to complete applications, have interviews, take tests, etc.

-  Call employers to find out the best times to apply. Some companies take applications only on certain days and at certain times during the week.

Write down all employers you contact, the date of your contacts and the people you talked to.

-  Apply at several companies located in the same area, when possible. This saves time and money.

-  Be prepared. Have a “master application” and resumes, pens and job information with you all the time. Who knows when a “hot lead” will come your way?

-  Follow up leads immediately. If you find out about a good job late in the day, call right then! Don’t wait until the next day. You snooze, you lose!

-  Network. Tell everyone you know that you are looking for a job. Stay in touch with friends and contacts. Follow up new leads immediately.

Read pamphlets and books on how to get a job.
