The Essential Job Search Guide

Searching and applying for jobs is nothing like it used to be. Gone are the days of physically handing or mailing in your resume and waiting for a call about the position.

Now, nearly all job search communications happens electronically.

Since the employer isn't likely to see your face and interact with you until you're invited in for an interview, the paperwork, and the way you follow up, must be on point.

From applying to jobs to following up after an interview, here's everything you need to know about successfully landing a job in the digital age.

Deciding to make a change

Everyone’s job search begins differently. Some people choose to make a career change, others find themselves looking for a job through no choice of their own. It’s deeply personal and only you can know when searching for a job feels right.

In a recent survey, 91% of employed adults said they look for jobs at least a few times a year, so for many people, job searching is a regular activity.1 Like any activity, you’ll get better with practice.

The steps that follow are meant to help you hone your search skills and land the job you want.

No matter how your job search has begun, an important first step is considering what you really want to do at work. You may want to progress in the same career or change career paths.

Looking for a new job can be exhilarating and exhausting. Some searches go quickly while others may take a few months (or longer!). Being prepared for each and every step of this process will not only save you time and headaches, but it will also make you a smarter, savvier, and more hire-able candidate!

To your success in your ultimate job search!
