1 Update your resume

Your resume is your first impression on potential employers, so make sure it reflects your skills, achievements, and value. Highlight the results you delivered in your previous roles, using quantifiable metrics and action verbs. Avoid listing your tasks or responsibilities, and focus on your impact and contributions. Also, tailor your resume to each job you apply for, using keywords and phrases from the job description. This will help you pass the applicant tracking system (ATS) and catch the attention of hiring managers.

In my opinion, this is the important start point. Tailor your resume, highlighting your relevant skills and accomplishments that fit the job requirements. Be specific, throw out numbers not generic data; be aware of how machines will weed you out; if need be, take professional help.

2 Leverage your network

Your network is one of your most powerful assets in your job search. Reach out to your former colleagues, managers, mentors, clients, and vendors, and let them know that you're looking for a new job. Ask them for referrals, recommendations, introductions, or leads. They might know someone who is hiring, or have insights into the industry or company you're interested in. Also, expand your network by joining online communities, attending virtual events, or participating in industry forums. Be proactive, helpful, and genuine in your interactions, and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Leverage your professional network to explore job opportunities, seek referrals, and gather insights about potential employers or industries. Attend networking events, industry conferences, and alumni gatherings to expand your connections and access hidden job market opportunities.

From my own experience (and I learnt it the hard way), never underestimate the power of networking. Explore, get on to LinkedIn and other social media sites, reach out to everyone you knew even if they are not relevant to your present day requirements, attend as many organisational workshops, events, fairs and conferences. Review your online presence. Does 'google' know you? Build a network and slowly put out the word that you are looking for something new.

3 Showcase your portfolio

If you have a portfolio of your work, such as projects, reports, presentations, or case studies, use it to demonstrate your expertise and value. A portfolio can show your potential employers what you can do, how you solve problems, and how you communicate your ideas. You can create a website, a blog, a LinkedIn profile, or a SlideShare account to showcase your portfolio. Make sure your portfolio is relevant, updated, and easy to access. Include a link to your portfolio in your resume, cover letter, and email signature.

Build a personal brand. It does not happen overnight. You have to daily build it, word by word, hour by hour. Get on to the virtual world and become active on social media - LinkedIn is a good way to start. Reach out to others who you think would be ideal for you. Start posting and engaging. Create your own website - that builds a huge credibility. Link your work or upload them

Building your portfolio and doing some work where you don't get paid but get the opportunity for exposure would be a great way to express who you are professionally. I believe you have to work on your self, self-branding, self-exposure, and self authoring and other channels to showcase your skills, experiences and portfolio.

4 Prepare for interviews

When you get invited for an interview, do your homework and prepare well. Research the company, the industry, and the role. Review your resume and portfolio, and anticipate the questions you might be asked. Prepare your answers using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result), and include specific examples from your experience. Also, prepare some questions to ask the interviewer, to show your interest and enthusiasm. During the interview, be confident, positive, and professional. Highlight your strengths, address any gaps or challenges, and explain how you can add value to the team and the organization.

5 Follow up and follow through

After the interview, send a thank-you note to the interviewer, expressing your appreciation and interest. Reiterate your key points, emphasize your fit, and mention anything you forgot to say. Keep it brief, polite, and personalized. Also, follow up with the interviewer or the recruiter after a reasonable period of time, to check on the status of your application. Don't be pushy or impatient, but show your persistence and enthusiasm. If you receive an offer, evaluate it carefully, and negotiate if necessary. If you don't receive an offer, ask for feedback, and learn from the experience.
