5 tips for getting jobs you want

  1. Be clear on your target job. Spend some time doing career assessment to really understand what job you want, the industries you are targeting, geographic locations and company size.
  2. Network to find out where these jobs exist. Talk to everyone to get information, advice and guidance.
  3. Start applying for jobs that match your target. If possible, identify network contacts that work in that company or know someone who does.
  4. Conduct informed interviews. Research the company, leadership, trends in the industry, and, importantly, company culture.
  5. Negotiate your total compensation package AFTER you are made the offer. Consider all factors, not just salary: bonus, sign on bonus, vacation, flex hours, benefits, tuition reimburesement, insurance, etc. Importance of these factors is different for everyone.

Good luck with your job search!
