Movers & Shakers How to Survive the Job Hunt • Plan out your attack: Before applying to 100 jobs, make a list of all the things you want in your next position, and target companies that can provide it! Honing in on your ideal company and position will help you get there on a shorter, more clearly-defined road. • Don't get weighed down by negativity: You may not hear back from every company you apply to, but you've got to stay positive during the search. Don't let your mind get clouded with negative thoughts, or you may lose sight of your goals. • Embrace change: Go into interviews with an open mind. New jobs oppor- tunities may not be like your last role or current position, but aren't you looking for a reason to shake things up? Change is the only constant—embrace it! • Learn from the past: Keep in mind all of the reasons you've loved and/ or disliked your jobs in the past. Make sure you take the positives with you and leave the bad aspects behind, as it will lead you to happiness and success in your next role. CAREER CORNER TP0614_072-101.indd 82 5/23/14 9:38 PM
