How To Keep Your Executive Job Search Going Strong In The New Year

Now that the New Year is upon us, its time make some choices regarding your executive job search that could help offer you a fresh start

. The beginning of the year is the perfect time to evaluate your job search methods and to find ways to improve your chances of landing a dream position in 2010. Reevaluate What You Want As youre thinking about the executive career youre looking for, its good to make sure you feel the same way that you did about your career track a few months ago. Its natural to evolve over time and have your career objectives evolve with you. So before you go with the flow youve created for yourself, take some time to make sure youre heading in the direction you want to move in at this point. You may realize that its time to actually reevaluate your goals and begin searching for a career in a totally different industry. Look for New Industry Trends If youre sure that youre on the right track with the career youre pursuing, even at this stage in your career, its good to keep searching for new trends to learn and understand. You may know a great deal about your industry, but without being entrenched in it regularly, its hard to know everything thats going on. So in the New Year, its a good idea to see what new trends are expected in your industry then take the necessary steps to prepare yourself for changes (i.e. take new classes, add new categories to your blog, etc.). Build Your Online Professional Brand If you have yet to expand on your online presence, it is more than important that you get started sooner than later, so why not do it for the New Year? Many employers recruit executive-level professionals theyve found online, so its important to build a brand in this area. One fast and easy way to build an online presence is to create a free LinkedIn profile that allows you to list your employment history, education, and even garner recommendations. Also, you could create a free blog that allows you to give tips, advice and insight about your field. Another great way to expand your online presence is to purchase a website domain in your name. Your domain will only cost around $10 per year, and a bit more per month for web hosting (somewhere around $5 per month from most companies). On your website, you could create a simple page that lists your name, title, contact information and a link to your LinkedIn page/resume (dont forget to create a creative, yet professional design). Review Your Resume One of the most important ways to get a good start to your job search in 2010 is to review your resume. Add anything to your resume that might be significantly influential, including training courses, guest blogs, etc. You'll also want to review the document to prune out any grammatical or spelling errors and to try to refresh the aesthetics of your resume. Remember that with a new year comes many new opportunities, and you certainly want to take advantage of any opportunity that you come across. So as you prepare for a new year of job seeking, dont forget to refresh and rebuild for 2010.
