Job Search Strategy: An Introduction
Job Search Strategy
An Introduction
This tool is designed to keep you organized and help with searches both now and in the future.
To use, head to the Google Sheet below and click “make a copy” and save it to your own drive to begin working with and customizing to your own needs. We recommend scheduling yourself to work on it each day for just 5-10 minutes so it becomes a part of your routine.
Tab #1: This is your “search spreadsheet” and the place to save all the information about companies you like or are in touch with. Customizations here tend to include “follow up” columns to indicate dates and contacts to follow up with if you’re not getting the answers you’re looking for in the process, or it’s just a company you truly want to stay in touch with for the future.
Tab #2: This is your place to track and cultivate your own “Personal Board of Directors”. Just as organizations have a B.O.D. that advises them professionally, so should you. We dive into this concept more in our Personal Board of Directors Workbook which you can download at the link below!
Tab #3: And speaking of staying on track, looking for a new job is not only hard work in and of itself, but it can be tough on your mindset if it’s not going exactly how you planned. Tab #3 helps to keep track of the qualities that are important to you in your next role, client, organization. Keep these in mind and shift them around as your requirements change, but be careful not to settle! Make sure a new role ticks the right amount of these boxes for you. We’ve included quite a few examples of qualities and benefits here, but please add your own!
