Take Control of Your Job Search

5. Start with a deadline

Set to-do dates for everything. When will your resume be finished? When will your interviews happen? When will your job offers come in? When will you be starting the new job?

Sure, you cannot control everything and your drop-dead dates might move. But be warned: If you don't have deadlines your job search could be the one dropping dead. Resurrecting a job search is tougher than getting one started.
