Searching for Jobs
In most instances January is a peak month for job search. Get a jump on the competition. Many companies still actively hire over the holidays to gear up for the next year. Send in your resume as soon as possible.

Your Resume
Be careful not to tell your life story in your resume. That is not the place for it. Instead highlight key skills and, most important, accomplishments in bulleted points. Don’t forget references.

The Cover Letter
Make yourself sound unforgettable. Begin your cover letter with a bold question or bold statement that speaks about your abilities.

Any Interviews?
Do not go into an interview bad-mouthing your previous company, supervisor or co-workers. You will most likely be pegged a whiner. Instead be positive and imaginative. Show enthusiasm for your former job and any new job that may present yourself. Any fresh ideas may be just what get’s you in the door.

Check back
Do not bother them. Enthusiasm is one thing. Desperation is another, employers can tell the difference. Check back 1 or 2 weeks later. If no decision has been made ask when would be an appropriate time to check back.
