Clear Your Head
Be clear as to what you really want. Several job seekers cannot decide the type of job which they want and hence, end up slipping great opportunities.

Once the career goal is set, then you can go ahead with finding the job.
Formulate a Strategy
Once you are clear within yourself as to what type of job you would like to do, then it would be followed by preparing a plan to search the desired job. The plan to grab your dream job will generally account you to prepare a strategy wherein you would be selling your brand. Define your Unique Selling Proposition (USP), which would differentiate you from the rest of the job applicants. Be clear that your brand contributes in the company's value addition process. Then only chances of grabbing your desired job will get rife.
Dress Properly for an Interview
