Job Search Roadmap in Reverse Order
In the design of any project or activity, starting with the end in mind will help guide the outcome to the desired goal. Often in a job search, we start with the résumé and hope that our trajectory will hit the target. In this case, let’s start with the end – passing probation into full employment as our end point and let’s break down the steps that got you there. When working with an Employment Services agency, the Employment Advisor may “work backward” from the goal to assess your job search readiness, employment readiness, gaps, and solutions. The four stages of job search are Prepare, Plan, Prove It!, and Perform.
We have provided a handy document that outlines this process in full. Just download it from the link provided below:

Hi Jim, as I was preparing to facilitate Job Search Project Plan workshop at the College, I thought of a 5th P in the roadmap – Partner (aka Networking). Thank you for creating the Roadmap! I use it all the time with students and constantly receive a very positive feedback and requests to share the slides.
I love it! Partnership is so valid! You have always been an amazing teacher of this method. I am so grateful for the chance to work alongside you!
