Job Search Guide

So you are looking for a job. You may think you are "unemployed," but you are not. You are going to be working very hard until you find your next job.

Today you can expect to change jobs, even careers, several times during your working life. The only constant in this picture is you!

Embrace the idea that you need to job hunt all the time, even when you have a job.

From this new perspective, each job becomes more than a way to earn a paycheck. It is an opportunity to increase your skills and knowledge and value to employers. It is also a chance to build relationships with coworkers who may help you find your next job. You ensure lifelong employability-the ability to find work easily. That is good because lifelong employment-having a guaranteed job-no longer exists.
