Ramp It Up Tip
Consider More Than the Salary!
It’s important when looking for a job to consider more than the salary. Would taking a higher salaried position with a longer commute be worth it in terms of cost in time, fuel, stress, and vehicle wear?
Ramp It Down Tip
Write a Letter to Yourself
As you wrap up your paid gig for awhile, write yourself a quick note to be opened on a specific date a few months before you return to work. In the note, jot down at least 3 options of where you'd like to see yourself go, career-wise, upon your return. When the time comes, use this letter to yourself as a springboard towards choosing your next career step.

that they are doing to get their foot in the door?

Networking
Networking
Networking has always been the most successful aspect of any job search. Friends and contacts will tell you about job openings and introduce you to potential employers and colleagues. Many, if not most, jobs today are never advertised to the general public. In those cases, networking may be the only way to access a particular position. Don't be alarmed. Most people's network is much larger than they ever anticipated!
Start by identifying your various networks:
Graduate and undergraduate alma maters
Professional networks
Volunteer networks
Community networks
Family networks

Graduates tap online alumni networks for job leads, lost friends
By Alan Scher Zagier, Associated Press Writer | November 27, 2006
COLUMBIA, Mo. --When recruiter Soraya van Dillen was looking to fill a retail industry job in northern California, she could have put a help-wanted ad in the local newspaper, or posted the vacancy on an industry Web site.
It's Who You Know: Networking for Jobseekers
Networking is a strategic component of any job search. Studies have shown that networking can be 12 times more effective than answering job advertisements. This is particularly true in the nonprofit sector, where under-resourced hiring managers frequently look to their networks for candidates. As a result, the ability to successfully build and cultivate relationships is a vital part of advancing your career, and in many cases, landing the ideal job.
