All rights reserved 5 Vital Job Search Tips To Get The Job That’s REALLY Right For You When you are unhappy at work or are faced with losing a job, the knee jerk reaction is to jump right into another similar job or accept whatever employment we can find so that you are able to keep uninterrupted pay. Instead, try to see it as an opportunity to give yourself time to reflect about what you truly want out of life so you can find a job that supports it. Here are five job search tips to help you find a job that complements the life you truly want. Introduction

Usually one of these is more important to you than the other.

During a job transition, it’s the perfect time to ask yourself if your chosen career is still fulfilling before jumping right back into a job in the same field. Although most professionals struggle with burnout from time to time, if your passion for what you do is lacking, it’s time to create a plan to find another career or create new professional goals for yourself.

List out the criteria for your ideal position and determine what is most important or non-negotiable. It might not be possible for you to get everything, but it’s important to get what you need before committing to another company.
