Step 1: Let’s get organized. I know, I know. Some of you might be thinking, “Look, I need to be out there submitting my resume on-line, not sitting around getting organized.” I understand, but let me explain why getting organized now one will actually benefit you in the long run.

CIO — When IT Director Henry Hirschel started his job search in June 2011, his first move wasn't to hit a job board looking for ads for IT leadership positions. His first step was to connect with his network. Using Microsoft Publisher, Hirschel created a one-page "marketing brochure" that he emailed to 400 contacts over four weeks. The simple brochure explained that he was on the market, described the kind of job he was seeking, and linked to his Website , LinkedIn profile and online résumé. Hirschel says he focused on marketing himself and connecting with his network as "a way of making people aware in a positive way that I was transitioning out [of my job] and at the same time notifying them of what I was looking for." Hirschel's decision to initiate his job search by networking represents a significant change in the way savvy IT job seekers look for work today. http://www.cio.com/article/690437/How_to_Conduct_a_Job_Search_What_You_Need_to_Know_Today

In my previous blog, making your resume stand out, I say that if you have periods of unemployment, you should list the dates of unemployment with an explanation for what you were doing during the time off. One of my readers asked a very good question which was “What if the only thing I was doing was looking for work?”.
