I’m a big fan of ExecuNet – a terrific resource for executive job seekers. Every Friday I get an email news note that includes spot-on advice from executives who have “landed.” Here are the words of wisdom from today:
Be sure your objectives are clear to yourself and that you can communicate them effectively.
One of the most important – yet most overlooked – tasks of preparing for a job search is clarifying what you’re looking for. If you haven’t done so, your efforts will be unfocused, you message will be muddy, and you’ll confuse your network contacts. Don’t let that happen to you!
