I shall be able to track my job search by keeping in contact with my links to the employers and constantly staying in touch with them. This shall enable me o keep track of my current status as pertains to the competition involved and whether or not I was successful in getting the job. The resources I shall use to do this include my previous lecturers and my fellow healthcare workers who are already in the job market. These people shall provide crucial connections and shall play a key part in ensuring I attain my goals of getting the desired job opportunities.
I shall also ensure that my resume and other job search tools stay current by frequently updating them to include the experience I have gained and new employers met. I shall also be able to include letters of recommendation from these new employers in order to improve my reputation and increase my possibility of getting a new job. Lastly, I shall improve my interviewing skills by having them polished by people who sit in interviewing panels. I shall seek their guidance and ensure to follow their instruction as they know what the employers are looking for.
