Job search action plan step 3 -make a to-do list
Break your plan down into the tasks or action items you need to accomplish to reach your goal. Make a to-do list. For example:
1. Find a good book on writing resumes, search Internet for resume samples and template.
2. List my accomplishments associated with the job.
3. List my references and contact them
4. Prepare and practice interview questions.
Divide tasks into detail sub-tasks Your list won't be perfect - new tasks will be needed, and other tasks will prove unnecessary. Don't worry about perfection in this part of your job search.
Give yourself time-line and deadlines. For example:
1) Each day send out five job applications.
2) Call company xxx on this Firday.
3) Call my referees that I am applying for programmer jobs.
4) Sent out thank you letter tomorrow.
Assign deadlines to chunks of tasks. Be as realistic as you can. Weekly deadlines work best for me, but you may want daily deadlines or monthly ones - whatever works for you. Make a deliberate and unbreakable promise to yourself that you will meet each deadline you set.
Give yourself a bonus for your job search. For example:
I got a job interview today. Go out for dinner to celebrate tonight.
Following the job searching procedure step by step (right skills, networking, good resume and practice interview), you will get a job, eventually. Really!
