Yes, our jobs in recruiting have prepared us to advise jobseekers in the full process of how to find and win a new job. From resume consulting to preparing for an interview to the interview process to negotiating an employment offer, we do this day-in and day-out.

I think anybody helping job hunters (coaches, consultants, others), as well as job hunters themselves, needs to read - and re-read this excellent advice. Today's employment process is changing and the advice you have shared is a basic step to getting back on track. Thanks Mike.

Jacqui - Yes, "everyone is unique" which is the foundation and angle to market yourself in a job search. Dorothy - Yes, a job search must be both strategic and customized. Alicia - Yes, a job seeker must have a plan and see the "end in mind". Best, Mike Thanks very much for your comments.

I really like #2 having a plan. Sometimes people who are in a job search (particularly if they have been laid off) are confused about what to do and have a "see what sticks" mentality around finding another job. Your blue print is fantastic! Mike, great post! I really like #2 having a plan.

There is no substitute for strategic activity. I would add 3 things to your list - getting feedback. If things aren't going to plan - don't worry, Plan B onwards might also work. Be open to change and support. - customise - the days of a standard approach are gone. - never give up! As you suggest, activity eventually produces results.

Your 3 points, well fleshed out, identifying specific action steps to 'get an edge' are easy to navigate. Job search is full of layers, and once the initial shock of having to manage one's transition 'like a job' wears off, emplacing a plan is needed. Breaking down the introspection, the self assessment, the research, the where to go for resume/interviewing/job search strategy/recruitment help (of course, I think a resume/career strategist is absolutely essential to career transition!), are essential steps for job seekers. Love also the 2 constants you mention: EVERYONE is unique, so that's why it's imperative to treat your job search with such detailed care (Really, really, really want to emphasize this, because SO many people try to mimic others in their job search strategy. In my case, I see it daily in mini-me resumes where a friend models his resume after a friend's resume -- NO distinction there!). Plus, the 2nd constant you mentioned is incredibly true: YOU need to take action. Though many resources/experts, etc. are available and should be leveraged, your roll-up-your sleeves attitude will likely make the difference between a 'good' or 'great' result! Excellent advice, as always, Mike! Jacqui Mike,
