Is Your Job Search Effective?

by Dave Jacobs on December 27th, 2011

The ultimate judge of how effective your job search has been comes when a new offer is on the table.  That being said, it's important to take a hard look at the steps leading up to that moment with a keen eye to whether your efforts are truly effective.  As you take care of the day-to-day tasks of your job search, ask yourself if you're doing them in the best way possible to achieve the best results.  When you click "Send" on your next job application, ask yourself the question: 

"Have I done everything I can to make myself the best candidate for this position?"


Answering that question with a resounding "YES!" means having a plan.  And the first step in having a plan is setting goals...


Take our job search assessment to find out what is needed for you to be successful in your search.  Located in your Critical Path, the assessment focuses on:

  • What goals and expectations you have for your future job
  • What job search tactics you've employed so far 
  • Any potential roadblocks to you job search success 
  • Our recommendations for you job search in 2012 


This assessment will help your Career Services Manager get a clear picture of what you're looking for in a job, as well as how we can best assist you in your efforts.


One of the biggest barriers job seekers face while looking for work is lack of focus in their job search.  Take this assessment today and start targeting you search!

PMP Certification Training, Lombard, 2008

I was laid off for many months and not really getting many callbacks for my resume and no job offers. After I put the letters PMP on it, not only did I see an increase in quantity, but also quality of interviews. I had been spinning my wheels for 5 months, and after the PMP went on, I had 2 job offers in 6 weeks. It really was the "golden ticket"

Student Employment Success - Project/Process Manager

My Career Services Manager was very friendly and helpful and had excellent follow-up. She seemed to really care how things were going and kept me moving in the right direction. The resources available in job search were great and the visibility that there were jobs out there looking for my skillset was promising. Additionally, the training, as well as having an updated resume stating the Microtrain course work I had taken made me feel more confident and marketable as I looked for employment. It showed that I was dedicated and took project management and process management seriously.
