Thinking of Job Hunting? Start with the Basics
from Patty Kent, Vice President
Actuarial Careers, Inc.
The Basics: Position,
Compensation, Location
- What position and
title are you really looking for?
- What are your salary requirements?
-
How long of a commute will you agree to or are you open to
relocating?
- Are there locations or situations that are clear deal breakers?
Giving careful
consideration to what you require to make change jobs will focus your search
and save you and your recruiter time and wasted effort. While it’s good to
practice your interviewing skills, there’s no sense spending your valuable time
and that of the hiring companies by interviewing for positions you know you don’t
want. In addition, you don’t want to hinder your chances for future opportunities
at those companies.
Being clear about your
professional goals and defining them in detail will help you attract and land
the right position for you.
