2015 is here and that means a fresh start for your career.<\/p>\n
New Year’s Resolutions can be difficult to keep so it is important to make real changes and create better habits rather than abandon them in frustration.<\/p>\n
Is your resolution to find a new job? There are several things that you can do to kick start your career in 2015 and give yourself an advantage over your competition. Here are some ideas to keep in mind.<\/p>\n
You’ve probably heard the advice to treat your job search just like you would treat a job. There is a reason this is so prevalent; it really works. Set an alarm for the morning. Get up, get showered, and get dressed. Then work through an established schedule to make connections, send resume, and work on personal projects like your own website and blog.<\/p>\n
Rather than blindly sending your resume to online job postings, turn the job search on its head and start by researching companies you would really like to work for. Use LinkedIn and other networking tools to connect with key players in the organization and use this information to learn how to approach them for open jobs or determine if they would be willing to talk with you.<\/p>\n
