1) DEVELOP YOUR PERSONAL BRAND
Before you start your labor-intensive career search it is crucial to develop a personal brand. Nationally syndicated career expert and Careerrealism.com contributor, J.T. O'Donnell (http://www.jtodonnell.com/) articulates the importance of selling your "business of one" in this informative video called "Creating a strong career identity."
Takeaway tips:
* Embrace your inner salesperson and showcase your top professional assets. Bring your strengths to light by acknowledging how you work, learn and communicate.
* Niche market yourself: Stop being everything to everyone. Not every employer will appreciate your strengths, so make sure you seal the deal with a company that shares a mutual admiration with you.
* Create an interactive identity through Linkedin.com, Facebook.com, Twitter.com and web-based resume building sites (Google Docs) while citing objective deliverables when explaining your accomplishments.

Takeaway tips:
* Create a network (and share your professional goals) with the four "F"s: family, friends, friends of the family and family of friends.
* Have business cards made. It's professional and resonates with people.
