Launch Your Career
 Completing the previous stages should have enabled you to gain reassurance and confidence in your choice of career path. Now you are ready to strategically plan and develop your job search plan. The first thing to remember is conducting a job search can also be very labor intensive as well as frustrating due to rejections along the way. Many have said looking for a job is basically a full-time job in and of itself.
Ensure the job search strategy is developed comprehensively and includes an expansive list of resources in order to avoid the common trap of relying only on classified advertisements or job postings advertised on popular websites. If you restrict yourself solely to these job search method, then not only is competition overwhelming, but you have missed the largest sector of employment opportunities gained through networking.
Lastly, it’s important to be action and detail oriented by keeping a log of your daily job search activities by maintaining a list of names and contact information of employers. Be careful to note when the original contact was made, the method it was made (phone, email, postal service etc.), when to follow up, and any additional comments which could be useful for future reference.
