What Job do I want? 

You will need to first decide on what you want to do. For example do you want to stay in the same field or change career direction? If you need help in reviewing your career plans you can get advice from 'Careers Service. These can be found at most departments at the various schools, institutions and Universities. There are also ‘career service companies’. But you will need some legwork to find them.

Setting Job search Objectives

 
In order to be successful in finding a job, you must set your self objectives for job hunting. It is not sufficient just to set goals, you must also achieve them. So, to attain your goal of finding a new position, you will have to constantly motivate yourself and set yourself daily and weekly goals. First thing each week, you should set yourself a series of goals for the week and at the end of the week you should check that you have achieved them. When setting yourself goals try to be realistic and set goals, which are achievable, otherwise you will become de-motivated and lose interest in your job search campaign. Once you have set yourself goals you will have to work hard to achieve them. 

If you have been made redundant or are unemployed it can be hard to motivate yourself. Try and stick to your normal daily working routine; if your previous job required you to rise up early continue to do so - do not stay moping in bed all day or be tempted to have a lie in. You should work at least 7 hours per day five days a week. Any less and you are just deluding yourself that you are working hard enough. As well as working hard, it is important to relax in the evenings and weekends, otherwise you will burn out. You can relax with your family, friends or relatives. And by relaxing, I mean making your self-free from nervous anxiety, disturbing tensions-Not thinking about work related issues.
