Career searches are always interesting, no matter the skill set or how far along you are in your professional journey.
Of course There is no crystal ball to predict how your search will progress or what the results will be, but control the controllables while giving yourself patience and grace for what you can’t control.
Micro factors like the dedication and effort you put into an active search, choosing a great attitude even through rejections, or growing your network are all important. There are also macro components that will impact your search, social, economic, and political timing, etc.
Tap into solid resources from your university and trusted platforms like LinkedIn to curate content and tips for helping your search! Pick the brains of professionals in your field, while offering return networking and kindness if ever they need 😊
Grow your network on LinkedIn, perhaps at companies your targeting
Target organizations that excite you in their mission vision values.
Pay it forward to others along the way
Creat time management structure to your search (including brain breaks and physical movement)
