You need a job and need it now, or at least as soon as possible. In reality, a job search takes time but that doesn’t mean you have to wait around. By taking the right steps in your job search, you could increase your chances of getting hired sooner rather than later. Here are some tips from career experts:

Get the right job search tools-These are the tools you need to conduct job search activities; they include a computer, phone, transportation, etc.

Get organized- Create a schedule to help you plan how much time to spend on your job search. For example, consider using job search engines to find jobs that match your particular interest(s). Job search engines can save you time that can be used for other things such as networking.

Create a resume and cover letter-
These documents are essential for getting interviews; complete them before starting your job search.

Create a list of references with contact information- Write down three to five good references and ask them in advance to be included as a reference.

Set up job search agents- A job search agent lets you search for specific jobs based on your criteria; it can usually be set up on a job posting website. When job opportunities arise, you’ll receive an email from your job search agent.
