The combination of having a strong, positive mental attitude, coupled with rolling up your sleeves and working on the interviewing basics with immediacy, will help you land a great job in 2020
The first thing you must do is get your act together. One of the biggest problems that job seekers have is that they carry around a lot of baggage. They are angry with what’s happening at their current company and frustrated over being treated so shabbily.
It's imperative that you work on yourself before you start looking for a new job—even if you are relatively happy with your current position. You need to build a positive attitude and mindset that radiates confidence. Put any bad feelings and animosities behind you. Don’t carry it around like a weight on your shoulders. Start out your search with a clean slate. Forget any regrets, ill will or resentment that you may be holding onto.
Once you get into the right mindset, the next thing to do is focus on the basics. Start hitting the job boards to see what’s out there. Send tailored résumés to jobs that seem exciting and you know that you possess all of the requisite skills and experience. It's fine to reach a little for a higher-level job.
Scour LinkedIn to find the decision-makers, possible hiring manager and human resources or talent acquisition professionals. While you’re at it, take a fresh look at your LinkedIn profile and make any necessary changes and enhancements. Do the same with your résumé.
