Once you decide the career path you want to pursue, pursue it with passion. If after a reasonable amount of time you are not successful, be willing to try something else. You can always return to your original career path at a later date.

For every job available, there will be only one successful job applicant. All the rest will be rejected. You must accept rejection & be willing to move on. It is ok to ask the reason you didn't get a job, but don't worry about it.

Depending on the field & the job you are seeking it could take up to several months to get a job. Don't give up.

Show your initiative by following up. Don't wait by the phone or email. It can be very frustrating.

There will be times when you will be down during your job search. Don't isolate yourself by involving family & friends, join support groups

It is always easier to find a job while you have one. Having an existing job keeps your confidence high, prevents you from panicking & helps you negotiate a higher starting salary.

If you don't currently have a job, you should be a full-time job seeker.
