Make a Plan & Take Action Everyday

Finding the right job requires a plan. A plan is a set of action steps you're going to take to reach your desired career goals. You need to set specific, measurable and timely goals and take action towards those everyday. 

For example,
Make two to three new contacts every day. It's all about who knows who. As your increase your connections, you increase your chances of finding a new job. Attend conferences or workshops to meet new people and take advantage of online networking via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn as well.

Phone or visit three employers every day. Dress sharp, grab a hard copy of your resume and visit a few potential employers or pick up the phone and introduce yourself. It might seem daunting at first, but it's really up to you to get out there and find opportunities for employment.

Do something each week related to your industry. To stay up to date and knowledgeable about the area you want to work in - get pro-active. Join industry groups, attend seminars or presentations or look for short courses to expand your skills. Consider volunteering your time for a community project if it helps provide relevant experience for your career.
