Abstract
This article discusses job search strategy. Devising a job hunting strategy may be the hardest work you do in your entire career. The most immediate task is the creation of a personal inventory. You should be honest and identify your real strengths. These will be incorporated into your resume when you are ready to construct it. The attributes most employers seek to identify in applicants are the following: (1) A burning desire to learn and grow; (2) A brute determination to succeed; (3) A natural ability to get along with people; (4) Talent for persuading others; (5) An affinity for detail; (6) An enjoyment of the work; (7) A dedication to the organization; and (8) A willingness to accept responsibility.
