The August 16, 2009, Dallas Morning News has a great article by Amy Winter titled “Strengthen skills to focus on career goals.” Referencing and quoting Lauri Williams’, president of Optasia Career and Training Services, “six steps to six figures” http://www.optasiatraining.com, the article lists the following steps:
1. Set goals & be focused.
2. Network & take inventory of resources.
3. Improve your resume.
4. Pitch your resume.
5. Prepare for interview.
6. Track your accomplishments.
“Williams wants job seekers to be better informed during the job-search process, which often involves helping them realize they can take control of their life.”
