FlexJobs | Find A Better Way To Work

Congratulations! You’ve made it to the end. Though this is likely not the end of your job search, you now have the tools you need to continue to execute your job search action plan!
At this point, you want to evaluate the steps you’ve taken thus far and ask yourself questions such as:

What’s working and what isn’t?
Where do I seem to be gaining traction?
Are there things I’m doing that haven’t delivered the results I’d hoped?
Where do I need to dedicate more time?

As you identify the successes and the challenges, tweak, adjust, and tailor your plan (yes, just like you tailor your resume for each job) to keep you moving in the right direction.

As part of your evaluation and adjustment process, you will want to regularly define your daily activities, set doable goals, and track your progress. Tracking progress and even small wins can help you to stay encouraged when it may feel as though “not seeing progress”.

There are several additional resources we’re sharing with you today, including job search checklists to help you make sure you are on track and to stay on track as you move forward. Also, we’re including a great webinar on putting together your action plan for your job search. This is a helpful resource to reference throughout your search.

Keep in mind that a job search takes time and as you implement the tactics that you’ve learned, you are positioning yourself for a productive job search!

On behalf of all of us here at FlexJobs, thank you for being part of this 21 day challenge and all the best to you in your job search!
