Kicking off a new job search today

Career Management

I was laid off yesterday because my role is being consolidated

I'm wondering if there is a podcast series for kicking off a new job search

I've done this before, but I think last time I wasted alot of time on stuff that didn't work

I want to do it right this time and I want to start now so I don't have to settle for a lower salary after my severance runs out

I'm interested in building my own consulting business, but worried that it might be a little risky at this period in my life. I don't have the cash reserves to go long periods of time without steady income.

I'm am working to complete my project management degree also so I'm planning to divide my time between school, job searching, and building brand for my consulting business...

I sincerely appreciate any advice you can offer

Have a blessed day

I have really enjoyed the Job Search series within Career Tools. I thought that the Job Board casts were especially helpful as I was looking for a new position a few months ago. It helped me find a great job much more quickly than I had expected. Here is the link for the Job Search casts:

Good luck on the search! Sorry you have to be looking in the first place.

 You may also want to consider the Interviewing series. Finding the perfect job is only effective if we can convince the interviewer that we are perfect for that job.
 
Good luck!
