Deep dives

Take control of your job search

Many job seekers rely on luck and hope that a company will give them a chance, but this approach is unreliable. Instead, take control by focusing on companies you truly want to work for and creating opportunities. Start by getting clarity on your desired industry, job title, and company to focus your energy. Make a list of 10 to 15 target companies and define what you're looking for in each. Research and find contacts in those companies who have influence over hiring decisions. Build relationships with these contacts to increase the chances of receiving a referral.
