In this new year it may be time for a new approach to finding a job. This job market  is like none other, and you should approach it that way.

 Here are some things to consider when applying for that job in today’s market. To

1. Is in the job you want. I know that sounds weird but are you just being in your safety zone and going after the same job you have before or are you really putting all this hard work and sometimes frustration to the best use and get the career you want.

1. Are you using all the resources that you have at your disposal to find that job. There are quite a few resources that you have the ability to use and were never around before, like craigslist, monster.com, career builder.com, and the many things that your local state agency has to offer.

 Thinking outside the box has become an important part of you getting that job. with the flood of resumes they come across employers desks in this job market, thinking outside the box is crucial. Some great examples are having a PowerPoint presentation as your resume, having a link to a video of yourself, but I feel the best one is having a website that promotes yourself.
