#1 Know your game plan<\/span><\/h3>\n

Find some time amidst your busy schedule to list out what are the things that you will like to have in your next career. You can look at it from a monetary perspective, self-fulfillment perspective or even take a leap of faith to make a career change. The main point is that you need to know what you want so that you can set your job search directions right from the start. No point casting a net and sending your resumes everywhere when you might potentially end up with interviews or offers from jobs that you don\u2019t want. Time is precious, we all know that.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

#3 Pick your battles<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t be in too much of a hurry to mass send your resume, stay calm and pick the right targets. Go for roles which match your skills and career aspirations. Once you have identified the roles that you are interested in, you can gather and customize all your resources to fit the company and role that you are applying for. If your game plan is to have a career that pays you more, do research on companies or roles that provide your desired compensation package and focus on those. Apply for roles which you have prior experience or skills on, this will increase the probability of you winning the battle.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

#4 Persistency wins<\/span><\/h3>\n

Be proactive in your job search as good things only come to those who are actively looking and not those who wait. Do whatever you need to get yourself seen by the hiring manager of your dream job. It can be applying for the job directly, posting your resume online, going for networking sessions, building up your personal branding on social medias or even contacting your recruiters to help you look out for opportunities. Be patient and wait for responses. If you\u2019re lucky, you might get an interview on your first shot. If not, don\u2019t give up, try again. Persistency wins, like how the tortoise never gave up and eventually won the hare in the race.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
