Thursday: Research Networking Opportunities
Don't rely solely on job boards and social media to discover the latest jobs within your industry, as some jobs don't ever make it online. Sometimes the best way to discover new job opportunities -- especially those that aren't advertised -- is through networking events.
Take some time out of your Thursday to research upcoming industry events and networking opportunities for the week or month and mark them on your calendar. These can easily be found on local industry-related websites, professional associations or organizations' web pages, or social media.
This takes all of 15 minutes and can help you form new professional relationships, learn about upcoming job opportunities, and give you a great opportunity to practice speaking about your background and skills.
