Trish Sadar's insight:

Anthony Robbins says that you can achieve almost anything as long as you are committed , take action, and notice what is working and what is not...so that you can adapt your approach until you reach your goal.

 

So the question is ...Are you committed to reaching your goal and willing to work for it?  Or are you simply interested in achieving your goal?

Trish Sadar's insight:

Nice advice!

 

The most important thing to do is to have a multi-fauceted approach.  Networking, Social Media, Niche Boards, Researching and selecting preferred organizations, Joining Association and Industry Group Boards, getting help from your career counselors or Alumni or past colleagues, etc.

 

Most people focus on only applying to job openings that are posted.  If you want results you have to do what others aren't doing and persist!

Trish Sadar's insight:

Excellent tips in the article about how to approach the job search.

 

I completely agree that the job search needs to be a full time job!  Also, you have to be realistic with the postiions you are applying for. 

 

Some jobs in healthcare, IT, and education have education requirements.  It may take some planning and time...remember, you might not be able to change the result overnight; however, you absolutely can change your direction.
