Eight-Step Job Search — Step-by-Step

There is no "cookie cutter" approach that will work for all job hunters. To accommodate differences in backgrounds, job markets, job search experience, etc., our eight-step job search process incorporates flexible learning paths (see Job Search Roadmap) that will help you select and pursue a job search approach that will work best for your particular situation.

This tool provides a means to track your personal job search efforts against the key elements of each step in the eight-step job search process. As you work through your job search, you can compare your activities and progress against common elements of the job search process.

Below is a graphic summarizing each of the eight steps. On the left, click on any of the steps for a review of the activities and tools typical for that stage in the job search process. As you review each step, consider them in the context of your profession, industry segment, experience and the like. Be flexible and adjust as needed to meet your particular needs.

While the above steps are generally listed in a logical sequence, you will find that many of them can be managed at the same time or in a different order. For example, preparing your personal inventory will help you as you network, however, that shouldn’t stop you from networking prior to completion of the personal inventory process; especially if a really great networking opportunity presents itself. You will also likely find yourself revisiting some of the steps as you learn more about your job market and subsequently adjust your job search strategy.
