"What to do and how"
 You
have now reached the stage where you can decide on the most
appropriate action plan
- or in other words what to do and how to do it when it
comes to the strategy used to find a job.
- Rather than following the usual procedure of job hunting
you will instead go through the three most effective steps
which greatly increase the odds of your getting employment.
- You will list possible employers once you have decided
upon the preferred geographic location and having selected
a wide range of companies, you will choose 20-30 of the
most interesting ones.
- Next you will go on and list your 5 main work targets
detailing the skills needed, contacts, locations and first
steps which must be taken in order to secure work.
- Finally you will decide on a career plan for the week
giving yourself a time scale in order to decide who you
contact, when, and with what purpose.
