Career | How to Start Your Job Search: Where to Begin

If you have been laid off, it is important not to panic or stress out. This is a normal situation that most people face at some point in their lives. The best approach is to reflect on the past, identify any mistakes you may have made, note them down, and work on improving yourself. Remember to stay positive and see the situation as an opportunity for growth.

To start looking for new jobs, it is important to stay organized, make a plan, and take a calm yet active approach. We suggest the following steps to make your job search easier:

• Create a list of companies or industries that you would like to work for. To make it easier, you can use the IKIGAI framework to help you make your decision. This framework combines what you love, what you do for a living, what the world needs, and what you're good at.
• Create a list of job websites that you would like to visit regularly.
• Search for jobs and make connections with companies to find references.
• Plan to apply for 15 positions every day.
• Review the job positions you are interested in and identify the skills you need to learn. Create a learning plan and keep improving your skills while waiting for companies to respond.
• Stay active to be healthy. 

Remember, staying positive and organized will help you find a new job faster. Good luck!​
