It’s the first week of the new year. You’re anxious to get back to work. This week’s HFChat will do just that: focus your mind on how to tweak your job search strategy, and prioritize. I hope you’ll join us for an invigorating chat Friday, January 6th Noon ET, 11 Central!

Topic:
What to do when you need a job NOW.

Intro:
The perfect job search requires mastering a number of skills: career goals, assessment tools, resume writing, cover letters, references, networking, interviewing, salary negotiation, work/life balance…the list goes on. There are hundreds of books and thousands of articles teaching these skills. You can read and practice for years.

But you don’t have years. You need a job now.

Q1: How do you know what job search tactics are a priority?

Q2: How often do you change up your job search tactics?

Q3: What job search tactics seem too time-consuming or difficult?

Q4: Who do you call first to build a network?

Q5: What online job search resource produces fastest results?
