New Year, New Job Search Strategy

Develop your personal brand
Keep going to professional organizations and industry conventions _ even if it means paying a fee. “We don’t spend enough money in branding ourselves,” he says.
By continually developing your brand, you will be able to offer solutions to employers looking for specific skills. “The only reason you’re going to get hired is if you’re perceived as being a solution to an employer’s problem,” Shea says.
Target your job search

Unless finances become a pressing concern, an unemployed worker should aim for a job at a company where they want to work and where they have potential to advance, Shea says.
