Develop a Targeted Job Search Strategy

Actively target organizations where you’d like to work

Thinking about moving on to your next career opportunity? Rather than taking a more passive approach, you may find actively targeting organizations where you’d like to work leads to long-term job satisfaction.

Q: I have been thinking about my career and believe it’s time for me to make a change. I read somewhere that a good way to look for a new opportunity is to target organizations where I’d like to work, but I don’t have the first idea of how to do that. Can you give me some initial steps for getting started?

A: I agree that this is a great way to do a job search. While most people post their resume on Indeed or LinkedIn (you should do that, too) and then wait for employers or recruiting firms to find them, when you target the places where you think you’d like to work, you have more control. Plus, I think it is a more strategic approach to job hunting.
