Good post. Macro trends on jobs should also be followed. Does your state or market have job openings? What is the unemployment rate? Are companies moving in? Follow some of these trends at

Thanks it is great post. I would offer a more basic question that people should be asking themselves “do I know how to run an effective job-search?”

Because if you aren’t really focused on the search, then it is easy to spin your wheels or focus on the wrong things.

You know, I actually really like the FedEx idea. I’ve got a decent amount of contacts across various industries but I definitely feel that sometimes I get lost in the everyday shuffle. Couldn’t hurt to try, right?

Great post. I would offer a more basic question that people should be asking themselves “do I know how to run an effective job-search?”

Because if you aren’t really focused on the search, then it is easy to spin your wheels or focus on the wrong things.

If your answer is that “yes, I know how to run an efficient job search”, then I would ask you “are you sure” because you are now in a situation that would seem to indicate you are doing something wrong.

If you have the wrong map, better hiking-shoes won’t help much.
