There are two points where I feel that it you touched upon a very crucial part of job hunting. The first is the breathe section; loosing a job can be frustrating but there is only one more thing that can be even worse...loosing it and then trying to find another one promptly with lower self-esteem and depleted resource of enthusiasm...well, this is the best cocktail on how not to get a job. You are right, having a few days off after being sacked as important as a good, up-to-date cv! The second crucial point is the Linkedin network. Personally I have never got a job through there (I was not actively looking in the last few years either) yet I have heard from several people that they got a good job through Linkedin along with a decent salary, so it is definitely worth a try. Moreover, I noticed that sector-specific recruitment agents are adding me into their network, which is again a good sign of the fact that jobs are actually being circulated within Linkedin members. Thank you CroAxis Donnie, this is a great article!

In my search for a job, I found out that using these tips made a difference. In a time where a company can easily choose from over 100 applicants, you have to make sure you are noticed, but in a good way of course! I saw a difference once I reworked my resume to show specific accomplishments from each job I previously held. I went beyond listing "duties" and "responsibilities." Congratulations on your new position. They did well by choosing you. Donnie, great tips! In my search for a job, I found out that using these tips made a difference.
