Job hunting : Action plan

When you create your action plan, remember to think long term and then break  the plan down into smaller, manageable short-term goals that are more achievable.
Have you:

• developed clear ideas about your strengths, skills, interests and motivations as well as your practical needs?
• considered whether completing further study is an option?
• gathered enough information to understand different jobs?
• systematically weighed up pros and cons?
• drawn up a list of contacts and prioritised who to approach?
• activated your network?
• researched recruitment agencies specific to your sector?
• prepared your CV? See CVs and covering letters.
• investigated support and resources available through your university careers services?
• explored relevant professional bodies and sector journals or websites?
• discussed options with significant people (partners, parents, dependents) and impartial helpers, such as careers advisers?
• created target dates to complete your actions?
