Employers also value courses that are not fully completed yet. You just have to prove that you are willing to follow through .
  • Spread The Net: Network to increase your circle of influence and tell everyone you know about your job search. Start with friends and family and let them help you search while they network with their own contacts. Sometimes leads stagnate and opportunities are missed because only a ‘privileged few’ know about your job hunt.
