Are you looking for a dream job and still not finding one?  Searching for a job might seem to be a daunting task for many. But with the right information and guidance, it can become much easier than you might have thought.

There are some important things that are needed to be kept in mind whenever looking for a job. I have listed them down. I hope you find it beneficial and helpful for your job search.

1. First it is very important to be clear about your goals. The type of job you want and your expectations from it. You will need to establish goals for your job search so that you might know where you stand.

Commit yourself to a daily schedule where you have listed down a solid job search strategy and then act on it accordingly. It is advisable to email your resume directly to the hiring managers. This helps in getting noticed easily.

Make a point to email at least one hiring manager daily. You can also call and enquire about career opportunities and if no immediate opening is available, you can introduce yourself and ask them to contact you if any opportunity arises in the future.

1. Once you are clear about your goals, you can take the help of the internet to find the job of your interest. The internet is a valuable resource and provides ample information about different employers and companies providing job opportunities.

1. Other than job listing websites, information can also be obtained from various forums, career advice sites as well as online discussion groups. Always keep in mind that time is valuable. So be very specific when looking for a job in the internet. As job listings may be posted in accordance with specific fields or discipline, use keywords which will help the search better.

1. You can also approach school career planning and placement offices. There are many placement offices where recruiters might conduct career fairs and interviews. If you are in contact with one, it might provide you with information about potential employers.

They also offer job search advice which helps the job seeker to plan out the job search more efficiently. You will also get lists of different type of jobs offered, ranging from part-time to temporary and summer jobs.

1. Another useful way for job search is going through the classified ads. Newspapers offer information about the job market and also print job openings. However, it should be kept in mind that newspapers do not list many other job openings which you might find otherwise.

They also do not offer much information and thus makes it difficult to follow up. Still, along with the other ways of searching for jobs, you can also go through them from time to time. You never know when you might find a job of your choice.

1. Above all, the most important way through which you might find a job is through personal contacts. It has been found out that over half of all employees find jobs through networking.

Thus, your family, friends, acquaintances as well as former co-workers might turn out to be valuable resources for job search. They can help you know about job openings and also refer you. Many of the available jobs are not listed. So you might find out about them from your personal contacts.

Give ample time to your job search and talk to family and friends. They can always provide you with suggestions and offer good advice on how to go about your job search. If you are determined and are dedicated to your job search, you will definitely get one!
