Goal Setting

When setting your job search goals, consider using the S.M.A.R.T formula to keep you on track:

S - SPECIFIC
Specific goals have a much greater chance of success verses general goals. ie) Target companies which you would like to work for; research the companies and organize informational interviews

M - MEASURABLE
Your job search goals must be measurable; ie) organize a job log to track and monitor your progress and to ensure that you are following up with phone calls, emails and thank you cards/notes

A - ATTAINABLE
Goals are attainable if you follow your job search plan; are determined and patient.

R - REALISTIC
Your job search goals are realistic if you truly believe you can accomplish them. ie) it is not realistic to apply for positions which you are not qualified for.

T - TIMELY
Set your goals within a time frame ie) apply for 5 jobs per day; 2 informational interviews per week
