Here are the top three tips for finding your dream job

1) Treat job hunting as if it were a full-time job

 which it is.If you worked, you'd arrive at work at the same time every day (say, 8 a.m.), have lunch for an hour (or less), and depart at the same time every day. Take an hour (or less) for lunch every day (say, at 8 a.m.), and depart at the same time every day (like 5 pm). Every week, you'd work five days. And you'd strive really hard to achieve as much as possible since your job depended on it.


When you're looking for work 

you should stick to the same routine since your future depends on it.

You might anticipate your job search to take longer if you treat it as if it were a part-time hobby..

So, go to work the next day and spend the day doing activities that will lead to a job.



2) Treat your job hunt as if it were a project. 

That means you'll need to set goals, devise methods, and keep track of your progress. All of the skills and talents you utilized in your prior job should be put to good use in your search for a new one.

As you may expect, this is a major project. You will be promoted to a new position sooner if you finish it quickly.


3) Be your own boss. 

Set objectives for yourself, provide direction, and measure your progress.

Meet with yourself once a week to evaluate your performance. To do this, I recommend writing two reports. The first is a candid evaluation of your previous week's achievements. The second part is a description of your week's plans. Your objectives, activities, and priorities should all be included in your plans




Create an appraisal of what you've done so far the first time you write these reports. Give examples of the outcomes of this work. And then compare the outcomes to what you wanted.


After that, make a realistic strategy for the coming week based on attainable objectives. Set For example, set goals for the number of people you'll call, the number of networking meetings you'll attend, and the amount of research you'll complete.


Compare the outcomes from the previous week to the goals you established in the coming weeks. If you expected to attend twelve networking events but only attended two, you should a) explain why this happened and b) devise a strategy to fix the situation. You should also look into why you missed your target since this will reveal what you need to do differently in the future. It's possible that your goal (attending twelve networking meetings, for example) was set too high. There may be things you can do to make your job search easier, such as carpooling with a friend who is also looking for employment.


In and of itself, finding a job is a full-time job. Make a plan and enlist the assistance of a good employer to help you get through it (yourself). I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
