Planning a Job Search Worksheet

Instructions:

As discussed in Unit 6, there are numerous approaches to a job search. The key is to find the ones that work for you. The first step is to determine where the opportunities exist in your career field. While a graduate with a BSN (nursing) may be able to submit a job application to a hospital or clinic and find a job, this will likely not work for someone with a business or IT degree. In the Unit 5 assessment, you were required to begin work identifying your network. Might you find a job through your contacts? 

Consider the job search approaches using the hidden and published job market; choose one approach from each and describe how you could use it to find your perfect job.

Please respond to the following:

Select one (1) approach to job searching using the published job market. Choose an item. Then list and describe, using three (3) or four (4) sentences for each step, three steps you would take while using the chosen approach.

1. Step 1

2. Step 2

3. Step 3
