Understand your desires and go after them

Understand what you really want

Don’t start your job seeking process before you take some time to yourself, go through your strengths, understand your weaknesses, figure out what kind of work will make you happy. Knowing your wants, will help you get the right job for you, the one that will fit you best and that will bring you joy for the long run. So ask your self, what do you expect from your day job? What is the most important aspect? Is it the title? salary? Promotion possibilities?  The actual work day to day? Maybe it’s the location, or the culture of the team and the company?

 

Research your target companies

After you realize what you seek in a job, it’s time to discover what the work places you’re want to apply to. A fantastic suggestion for finding your dream job is to do some research on the firm. You can do it by looking at the firm page on Glassdoor or Linkedin.

Looking in those pages, you can get the hang of the culture of the firm, you may understand what kind of question they typically ask in job interviews, and perhaps even understand how much you’re likely to earn.
