Many things in life are based on perceptions.  If you are perceived as delivering value, you will have more opportunities in your  in or out of your organization, and in your career choices.

Career Management is based on the game of perceptions.  Employers will decide to hire you based on their perception of you and the value that you will deliver.

Prepare about 15 - 25 different PARs to use in your job search.

What is most important is the result of the action you took?  Did you save time, money?  Did you earn, increase business, decrease expenses, reduce cycle time?  Your results need to be measurable, so attach dollars, percentage, time, CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) to your results.

Conducting an effective job search takes organization and preparation. 

Take the time and get organized when searching for your new career.  This will help you enormously when you need to react quickly, effectively, and professionally. 

Establish a personal e-mail address (free at Yahoo.com or other providers), and ability to connect (Cell phone, voice mail, or answering machine.)  Be proactive in checking all frequently.  Timing is everything!

Always carry up-to-date materials as described in Networking Tools.
