Senior Accountant (MD)

Treat your job search with the care and attention it deserves! The process of looking for a new job is stressful enough as is, but with a little organizing and strategy on your part it can be a lot easier to manage. Divide your time so that you do not risk job-search burnout by splitting the tasks that a job search entails - for example schedule your job listing search on the web for a few hours on Mondays and Thursdays. Bookmark the jobs that interest you and make a note in your job search journal (use a notebook or a Word document on the computer). Follow up on those bookmarked jobs by making calls or contacting your headhunter on Tuesdays and Fridays, and then go to interviews on Wednesdays. Feel free to use another similar schedule if you prefer, but the idea is to partition out your tasks, and to reduce your stress go to job interviews on days that you do not have any other job search tasks to do. By treating your job search as a longer-term project with small repeatable tasks on different days, you will find it much easier to keep it all together while making your next career move!
