Looking for a job is “just the tip of the iceberg”.

The other 90% of the iceberg is below the surface of the water…it includes preliminary research about yourself, the industry and the position that you wish to snare. It includes knowing how to interview effectively, how to not only keep a job but to prosper and grow within it.

The most vital component of your job search is to address the part “under the surface”. The more you appreciate the importance of knowing your strengths and abilities and how to convey them effectively, understand how an employer thinks and to sell yourself successfully, the greater the chance you will have of becoming a winner.

 

Quotable Quote:

Developing Your Job Target

Before you can begin searching for a job, you have to research and define your job target. At this point – if you're like many of the people I've worked with – you're rolling your eyes and mumbling profanities. Unfortunately, this step is not negotiable; you can't work around it, ignore it, or rush through it.
