Getting a new job requires planning, intention, and patience over a long process. While applying immediately (and as often as possible) with a generic resume is tempting, that’s not the best way to go about your search. On today’s episode of Find Your Niche: A Career Podcast, host Lori Cole explains how to find a job effectively with a few tips before you start applying:

  1. Define your career objectives and research job postings to figure out what you want
  2. Set up a dedicated work area in your home for job searching without any distractions
  3. Create a professional email account specifically for finding a job
  4. Don’t mass apply with a generic resume, tailor it for each job posting
  5. Utilize a password manager to keep track of the accounts you create when applying
  6. Record a professional-sounding voicemail greeting and make sure your voicemail box doesn’t get full
  7. Establish your salary expectations
