Before you write your resume and launch your job search campaign, Billie Sucher thinks there are 10 questions you should consider carefully. I urge you to read her post, the questions are great.
Here are three that I never hear people ask themselves:
- What are your five best skills / competencies?
- Can you provide evidence of your achievements this year?
- Can you state with clarity the type of positions you're exploring that align with your skills and interests?
Be sure to read her post. Some of the questions will be relatively easy to answer, while others will make you think more deeply about yourself and the jobs you are seeking. One thing is certain - answering the questions will be profoundly helpful for your job search.
