Making more money, living a better and happier life are always the top wishes we secretly and sometimes openly have for ourselves at the beginning of every year and 2022 will not be an exception. In addition to money, we wish ourselves and friends and neighbors alike good health, bountiful blessings, God’s grace and happiness but we know if we have more money it means God has answered all our prayers. To strive to make the New Year better than the previous one, we write down New Year resolutions and pray that all our wishes come to pass. Sadly these resolutions are more often than not forgotten a few days into the New Year as life sweeps us along.

Some believe to achieve anything you need to sit down and create plans and set goals and then set out to execute your plans and all would be well. This is not a good idea. Rather than make plans and write down goals ask yourself concrete questions first. So to position yourself to make more money in 2022 you need to be guided by questions and here are the top seven to ask.

1. How much money do I want to make? A simple and almost trite question, but this is the first question you should ask yourself. It’s the roadmap to where you’re going. You must be clear how much you want to make in 2022 before you do any other thing. The more precise the figure the more likely you’ll make it. Do not say I wish to make more money or a lot of money; rather say I want to make $50,000 or $1 million in 2022. When you do that your mind will get to work and move forces to help you achieve your target. The human mind likes precision so if you want to achieve the target you’ve set, be clear what the target is in terms of the exact figure. Also be unrealistic by setting audacious target. This is a mindset thing. If you’re earning $15,000 why gun for $20,000 when you can set sights on $150,000 which is 10X your current income?

2. Is what I’m currently doing putting more money in my pocket? Many people like to do things that make them popular or loved or liked and most times hardly ask whether what they are doing is putting more money in their pocket. As you already know time is one of the scarcest resources and when it’s gone it’s gone forever. So you have to use the limited time you have wisely. Anytime you’re asked or tempted to do anything, always ask yourself; is this thing going to put more money in my pocket? If the answer is no, don’t do it. If you do, you’re cheating yourself because you would have used that time to do something else that would have put more money in your pocket or swollen your bank account. Be selfish with your time and as much as possible don’t stretch yourself too thin by taking up so many projects and assignments that don’t put more money in your pocket.

3. What should I do to double or quadruple or 10X my income? Throughout 2022 think in terms of how you could grow your income exponentially and not incrementally. If you’re earning say $10,000 think of ways you could double it within a month or a three months to $20,000 or even 10X it to $100,000. If you’re doing 9 – 5 job as an employee; think of how you could change jobs to earn double or how you could you ask your current employer to double your pay. If you’re self-employed can you tweak your strategies to double or triple your income? Day in and day out throughout 2022, always have pen and paper and look at the different permutations that could enable you double or quadruple or 10X your earnings.

4. What price am I willing to pay to achieve my target income? As the saying goes, “No Cross, No Crown.” A lot of people like to eat omelet but they don’t like to break an egg. This is self-delusion. As the year unfolds be ready and willing to pay any price and bear any burden and do whatever it takes to make more money in 2022. Do you need to get that outstanding certification? Do you need to move to another state or even another country if your circumstances permit? Do you need to learn cryptocurrency, Forex trading, content marketing, internet business or whatever new skills are required to enable you double what you’re currently earning? If you’re not willing to pay any price to achieve your target then you’re limiting yourself.

5. Where can I get help to make more money in 2022? A lot of people have low self-confidence and find it hard to ask for help. Some people are lone wolves and prefer to suffer and toil all alone. Again this is a mindset thing. All you have to know is that there are people all over the world willing to help you if you could just raise your hand and asked and asked in the right way. Remember, you’re not begging. To beg is to belittle yourself and undervalue your worth. Also remember, you’re not asking for a dole out. All you’re doing is to genuinely ask how to move from here to there? You can even ask Google and YouTube and Facebook and tens of other social media channels. You can join online groups. There are so many ways you can ask for help so if you want to make more money in 2022 make asking for help an important way of doing things in the New Year.

6. How many lives do I want to touch? Dr. Peter Diamandis, the co-founder of Singularity University and the author of two best-selling books, Bold and Abundance, once said, if you want to be a billionaire, impact one billion lives. If you want to make more money in 2022, you must be willing to touch more lives. What can you do? You can become a community mobilizer as ex-president Barack Obama was before he became president. You can launch a blog or podcast and preach about bad leadership in your community. You can set up a school online like Khan Academy. There are so many things you can do to make more money in 2022 just by touching more lives and creating huge impact. All you have to keep at the back of your mind is that making more money is not for your personal ego trip.

7. Why do I want to make more money in 2022? As I said in the paragraph above, you have to keep at the back of your mind that making more money is not for your personal ego trip. If you want to make more money in 2022, you must have a big “Why” that transcends the mundane. You don’t want to make more money because you want to buy a Rolls Royce, build a bigger mansion or buy an Island all for yourself. You need a powerful “Why” because the more powerful your “Why”, the more resilient you’ll be to withstand adversity when the going gets tough. If your “Why” is weak, you’ll give up when you meet your first obstacle or suffer a minor setback. A “Why” such as impacting more lives, making the world a better place, and being of service to humanity are the kinds of “Why” that stands the test of time. Create a powerful “Why” to guide your journey and you’ll make more money in 2022.

There you have them; the seven top questions you should ask yourself to make more money in 2022. It starts with asking how much money I want to make and thinking deep and hard about that target amount. Without a target amount every other thing will be an exercise in futility. It’s followed by asking, is what I’m currently doing putting more money in my pocket? Next is what should I do to double or triple or quadruple or 10X my income? That question is followed by, what price am I willing to pay to achieve my target income? Then you zero in on where can I get help to make more money? The next in order is how many lives do I want to touch? And the ultimate question is why do I want to make more money? If you ask these questions and systematically go in search for answers for them you’ll make more money in 2022 than you made in the previous ten years put together. I guarantee.

The Stanford Cardinal women’s volleyball team has five incoming freshmen in 2010, three outside hitters, one defensive specialist and one middle blocker making up a young group of players with plenty of playing experience. Prep Volleyball.com named the Stanford volleyball team third in the country in their annual Top 30 recruiting class ranking.

Outside hitter and 2009 California Gatorade Player of the Year Rachel Williams will bring an impressive list of accomplishments with her when she steps on the USC campus next year. Rachel is a 2008 and 2009 California Interscholastic Federation State champion who was named as a member of the AVCA High School All-American first team. Both Volleyball Magazine and Max Preps named her their National High School Player of the Year.

Another Cardinal outside hitter Lydia Bai is the daughter of 1984 Chinese Olympic gold medalist as a player and 2008 American Olympic silver medalist as a coach, Jenny Lang Ping. With that impressive pedigree, Lydia is expected to be one of the more versatile players to wear a Cardinal jersey next year. She attended Arnold Beckman High School for four years where she was her team’s captain, she was named to the All-Pacific League First Team as a freshman and was the Pacific League Most Valuable Player in 2009.

Lydia’s international experience includes being a member of the United States Youth National Team.

Carly Wopat is a 6’2″ middle blocker who will attend Stanford with her 6’1″ twin sister, outside hitter Sam Wopat. The sisters are 2009 CIF Southern Section Champions who helped lead their Dos Pueblos High School team to two Channel League titles. Carly’ accomplishments include:

-being named the Channel League Most Valuable Player

-a finalist for the California Gatorade Player of the Year award

-was a 2009 PrepVolleyball All-American

-in 2009 a Volleyball Magazine All-American

-#4 on the PrepVolleyball Senior Aces list

Sam Wopat’s accomplishment’s are similar to those of her sister’s. The four-year varsity volleyball team player was twice picked to the All-Channel League first team as well as a CIF Southern Section First Team member. Volleyball Magazine picked her to be on their All-American Second team and she too was named as a PrepVolleyball High School All-American.

Considered a top high school defensive specialist Mary Luck is a district champion and regional finalist who attended Stratford High School in Houston, Texas.

The Texas All-Star garnered All-State honors last year and was named the District 18-5A Most Valuable Player. Mary’s club team is the Texas Elite Volleyball club where she competed for three years.

Racing games have always been a favorite of mine. And the Super Nintendo had loads of them to offer. But one that caught my eye when I was a kid was a game called Top Gear. I saw the back of the box and was blown away completely. I showed my brother and he also loved what he saw. We rented the game and fell in love with it instantly. The graphics were great and the whole racing action was top notch.

This game works like a normal racing simulator, games that were extremely popular for the Super Nintendo. You race across eight countries: United States, Latin American, Japan, Germany, Scandinavia, France, Italy, and United Kingdom. Each country has four races that you compete in, giving you a total of 32 races. The races are based on real life cities from around the world, and they are captured beautifully (for the SNES’s time anyway). Most races are contested during the day, but you also have a few night races (complete with headlights on your car), and races which transition from night to day (but no day to night transitions, awkwardly). Each race has a set number of laps, anywhere from three to eight.

There is a point system like in any other racing simulator. The better you place in a track, the more points you gain. And you will need to place high in order to advance to more tracks, and ultimately more countries. Failing to do so means you have to go back and try again.

You only have four cars to choose from in the game, but they are well balanced and have their strengths and weaknesses. The red car has the highest fuel consumption and the lowest tire grip, but it is the fastest car in the game with a max speed of 147 mph. The white car is the slowest car in the game (131 mph) but it has the best tire grip and the lowest fuel consumption. The purple car and the blue car are nearly identical, with the same top speed (137 mph) and midrange fuel consumption. Only difference is that the purple car has a lower tire grip than the blue car, but a higher tire grip than the red car.

During the race, you will have to watch your fuel. If it runs out, you won’t be able to move your car and just hope that your car gets a boost from one of the other drivers on the road. In the races with five or more laps, there are pit stops you will need to stop by to fill up the tank. Though it will cost you a few positions, you can’t race without gas. Also, you have three nitro boosts to work with on your car, giving you a temporary speed boost. Use them wisely, especially in the high lap races.

The music is some of the best I have heard, though it isn’t much. Excluding the title screen and the menu screen, you have four music tracks that play in each of the four races in each country. The music that plays in every third track (New York for example) is among my best in video game music. The sound effects are your usual tire screeching, car crashing style sounds.

This is a great pickup and play racing game. The music is funky and the gameplay will keep you hooked. The nitros will also get you into the game because you’re just tempted to use them. I love this game, and this should definitely be in your arsenal.

A few months back I set a poll on one of my sites which asked horror fans to rate their top ten horror movies of all time. In this article I list the movies and explain what makes horror fans rate them so highly.

Psycho (1960)

Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho terrifies audiences because it is an exploration of insanity which concludes that anyone, even the sane, can become insane and suffer terrible consequences.

Alien (1979)

The powerful theme in Alien is one of disease. The crew aboard a futuristic space vessel become infected by an alien species and hunted down in grisly fashion. Perhaps the most terrifying thing about Alien is the theme it shares with Psycho: Evil is inside of us and, thus, cannot be easily escaped.

The Shining (1980)

Almost every college campus bedroom has the poster of Jack Nicholson peering through a recently-axed bathroom window, grinning in his uniquely iconic, maniacal manner. This easily deserves to be one of the top 10 horror movies of all time. Derived from the book by Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece is a haunting look at insanity and claustrophobia, as the Wife and Son of Jack Torrence are mentally abused and later on hunted down by him in a remote hotel called The Overlook. What perhaps scares us most here is the possibility that our trusted loved ones can become our worst enemies.

Aliens (1986)

In Aliens we see Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) return with a rescue team to a colony where she must do battle with yet more aliens. No one believes her, of course, until it is too late and both herself and the other crew members are besieged by dozens of drooling, toothy beings. It is the claustrophobic settings here, more than the Aliens, that we find most scary.

Les Diaboliques (1955)

A boarding school headmaster is murdered by his mistress and wife who has a weak heart. They submerge his corpse in their school’s swimming pool but, upon being brained, the body has disappeared. What ensues are scenes of suspense that slowly turn the murderers insane with tension. This movie is painful and terrifying to watch as we, unwillingly, must become the killers and share their fears. Although it is one of the top 10 horror movies of all time, I would say it is – possibly – the best suspense movie of all time.

Jaws (1975)

Amity Island has everything: beautiful beaches, warm weather, friendly inhabitants . . . oh, and a fifteen-foot killer great white shark! This is the original summer block buster known to all movie-goers. The theme here is man against nature. What terrifies most about Jaws is the uncompromising monster. He will not be reasoned with, he will not stop eating, and you will not escape his teeth, even if you’re an expert shark fisherman. In this film only the lucky survive.

Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

This horror movie takes up where Frankenstein left off. Frankenstein and his monster are both still alive. The crazy Dr Pretorius kidnaps Frankenstein’s wife and blackmails him to create another monster to become bride to the original abomination. With grave-digging, decaying corpses, re-animated living tissues, and the terrifying theme that man should not play God, this is a truly terrifying tale.

The Thing (1982)

In a remote Antarctic station, an expedition of American scientists encounters a dog, being perused by a helicopter which crashes. That same night the dog attacks both dogs and scientists and soon a shape-changing entity is loose among the survivors. The notion that evil lurks within those we trust is explored here to terrifying affect.

King Kong (1933)

When original audiences watched King Kong many of them literally ran screaming up the isles. Never had a monster been so realistically portrayed.

The Exorcist (1973)

In the Exorcist we are confronted by the ultimate evil: The Devil and his minions. Unlike serial killers or ghosts, Satan seems invincible; success feels hopeless. This terrifying film was made shocking by the use of blasphemy, a child becoming possessed and spouting obscene language; and the weakness of Good (namely an alcoholic priest) in the face of purest evil.

The top 10 horror movies of all time will, of course, change in the future, but – perhaps – the themes will remain the same. We will always be scared of inner evils (insanity), invincible evils (nature and the Devil), and monsters, of all shapes and sizes, will likely still prove to entertain and terrify!

The western world is the king of sandwiches. From them came the first meat, salad and sauce inside a loaf of bread. The name came from John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich as it was alleged that he was the inventor of it. It now spreads in the whole world with different names used instead like Hamburger, which is the most famous one of them. Other types include French dip, Club sandwich, cheese sandwich, monte cristo, muffuletta, pilgrim, slopy Joe and submarine sandwich among others. Best restaurants around the world come up with crazy ideas every now and then which might cost you a lot of money to try, and other might not but they are still crazy. So skim this delicious essay and get your hand dirty.

• 10 Fried Brain

May be you are in love with beef, but what about the brains of calves? The brains of calves or pigs are fried and made with different type of sausages in the western countries. The amazing thing is that these sandwiches are very famous and loved by many people.

• 9 Rubik’s Cubewich

Following the model of the Rubik Cube, a cube that came out in the 1980s in which you are supposed to put the dice-like parts in order by lining the same colors side by side. This sandwich used meat and cheese cubes to simulate the same shape, how can we bite just escapes me!

• 8 Candiwich

May be you would think of buying such a weird sandwich while you are on a trip. A sandwich inside a can with different flavors like that of chicken and pizza as well as other sweet options, cut in the very middle and preserved well. I really find it a good idea, why not?

• 7 The Melo

The Sandwich is a huge mix of the bacon and salami and sometimes there is pastrami as well. The sandwich got its name from Carmelo Anthony, a Knicks player. I don’t think that such amount of meat in one sandwich will keep anyone safe.

• 6 Tastykake Sandwich

The sandwich came as a mixture of sweat and sour, but really taken to extremes. The Adsum restaurant topped cheese burgers with chocolate and the butter of peanut. Granted that the cheese is salt less or the chocolate is not sweet, I cannot figure how it would taste!

• 5 The Big Sandwich

The size of this sandwich could definitely defeat the ones who used to share in food contests. Made of bacon, cheese, chicken, burgers, pepperoni among other crazy components; now you can see that it is not about size but the calories.

• 4 Double Down

Now, I want to try this one. KFC just made the dream of many sandwich fans, they removed the bread part. With two pieces of fried chickens with beef or bacons inside along with different sausages, the flavor definitely will be powerful.

• 3 Macdonald sandwich

One of the most expensive meals made by McDonalds is this one that may cost you up to 127 dollars. With wagyu beef, tomatoes, red pepper, mustard, and mayonnaise, unfortunately there is bread here!

• 2 Lasandwich

With just two dollars you will buy one of the craziest ideas of Lasagne. As confectioners, it was a bit difficult for them to go into the world of sandwiches. They, thus, came with the idea of cream and strawberries in a loaf of bread.

• 1 Luther Burger

Named after American singer Luther Vandross, the sandwich is a good mix of the sweet and sour, but this time it is very different. Instead of bread, makers used doughnuts inside which slices of beef and egg along with onions and sauce are put. The sweetness of the doughnuts are very clear that sugary top could even be seen!

Is a job change in order? Peruse the 25 most effective ways to job hunt. If it’s time for new beginnings, and if you’re searching for a job, it’s a good time to make sure your priorities are in check. Begin with some basic soul-searching, move to creative networking, and conclude with the foremost ways to investigate prospective companies. These are all sure strategies for getting a competitive edge in the job market. But finding a job means more than being competitive. In the bewildering new world of technology-online boards, career centers, and growing numbers of complex web sites-it also means knowing your way around. Here are 25 tips to learn how to maximize your time, your effectiveness, and your chances of success in your next career search!

1. First and foremost-take a personal inventory. Job hunting gives you the opportunity to go back to “square one” and inventory all over again what you are all about, what skills and knowledge you have acquired, and what you want to do. Who are you? What do you want out of life? A job? A career? Where are you going? Do you know how to get there? Have you been happy in your work/career/profession? What would you like to change? An inventory such as this is the best job hunting method ever devised because it focuses your view of your skills and talents as well as your inner desires. You begin your job hunt by first identifying your transferable, functional, skills. In fact, you are identifying the basic building blocks of your work.
2. Apply directly to an employer. Pick out the employers that interest you the most from any source available (web listings, yellow pages, newspaper ads, etc.), and obtain their address. Appear on their doorstep at your first opportunity with resume in hand. Even if you don’t know anyone there, this job hunting method works almost half the time, if you are diligent and continue your pursuit over several weeks or months.
3. Ask relatives and friends about jobs where they work. Ask every relative and friend you have now or have ever had about vacancies they may know about where they work, or where anyone else works. It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes an entire network to find a new job! If you tell everyone you know or meet that you are job hunting and that you would appreciate their help, you more than quadruple your chances of success.
4. Search hidden job markets. Networking is the “Hidden Job Market.” Because every time you make contact with a person who is in direct line with your career interest, you set up the possibility that he or she will lead you to more people, or to the job you are seeking. People are connected to one another by an infinite number of pathways. Many of these pathways are available to you, but you must activate them to make them work to your advantage. Most of the available jobs are in the hidden job market. They aren’t listed in the classifieds or placed with a headhunter. Find them through your network of contacts.

5. Ask a professor or old teacher for job-leads. No one knows your capabilities, dedication, and discipline better than a teacher or professor who had the opportunity to work with you in school. Since more people find their work through direct referral by other people than by any other way, this is a target audience you don’t want to miss
6. Spend more hours each week on your job hunt. Finding a job is a job! Treat your job hunting just as you would a normal job and work a normal number of hours per week, at least 35, preferably 40 in the process. This will cut down dramatically on the length of time it takes you to find work. Did you know that the average person in the job market only spends 5 hours or less per week looking for work? With that statistic, it isn’t surprising that it can be a long, tedious process. Improve your chances and demonstrate your discipline and determination. Devote Sundays to answering ads and planning your strategy for the next week. Don’t spend precious weekday hours behind a computer. You need to be out there researching leads, networking, and interviewing. Work smarter for yourself!
7. Concentrate your job hunt on smaller companies. Most new jobs will come from smaller, growing companies, typically with fewer than 500 employees, not large, restructuring companies. Although larger employers are more visible, well known and aggressive in their search for employees, it is with the smaller companies that you may have the best chance of success in finding work. Pay particular attention to those companies that are expanding and on their way to prosperous growth…they are easier to approach, easier to contact important personnel, and less likely to screen you out.
8. See more employers each week. If you only visit six or seven employers a month in your job search (which is the average, by the way), you will prolong your search and delay your successful outcome. This is one reason why job hunting takes so long. If you need to see 45 employers to find a job, it only makes sense to see as many employers a week as possible. Determine to see no fewer than two employers per week at a minimum! Do this for as many months as your job-hunt lasts. Keep going until you find the kind of employer who wants to hire you! Looking for a job is a numbers game. The more contacts you make, the more interviews you’ll get. The more interviews you have, the more offers you’ll get.
9. Be prepared for phone interviews. Would you believe that over 50% of prospective candidates are disqualified after the first phone contact is made with them by an employer? In today’s world, employers don’t have time anymore to interview every possible applicant and are using phone calls as a less expensive, less time consuming way to weed out potentially unqualified candidates. The phone interview catches many people off guard. You might receive more than just one phone interview, and you have to pass them all. The interviewer usually makes up his or her mind within the first five minutes. The remainder of the time is spent just confirming first impressions.
10. Create a support group. It is easy to get discouraged, depressed and despondent (the three D’s) in the job-hunt process. This can be one of the toughest and loneliest experiences in the world and the rejection you may have to face can be brutal, but it doesn’t have to be. The key is in understanding that you are not alone. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people looking for work, and you can team up with one if you choose. Many job-hunting groups already exist, such as the local Chambers of Commerce and online support groups through the Internet. Find a partner, or a larger group, and support and encourage each other. The path to success is literally a phone call away.
11. Contact potential employers directly through professional associations. Professional associations provide excellent networks for your benefit. Almost all committed professionals are members of at least one or two professional networks. Usually membership includes a directory, which provides you with a direct networking resource for verbal contact and mail campaigns. Additionally, most professional associations hold regularly scheduled meetings, which provide further opportunities to mingle with your professional peers on an informal basis. Finally, professional associations all have newsletters that are a valuable resource for other trade publications, associations, and help wanted sections.
12. Post your resume online. In today’s world there are numerous resume databases on the web. Job hunters can now tap into giant online databases when launching a search prior to interviewing. There are three primary ways to job search electronically or online: Joblines, Bulletin Board Systems (BBS), and the Internet. Many employers today have their employment opportunities accessible through a simple phone call. You can also use the advanced Resume Caster feature in ResumeMaker to post your resume to all of the top career centers on the web for thousands of hiring employers to review. You can also use the Job Finder feature to search from among more than 1 million online-listed job openings for a specific job title in the state you specify. The data is all there, waiting for you.
13. Promote yourself in unique ways. Promotion is creating an audience of potential employers and making them aware of your qualifications. There are many nontraditional ways to accomplish this task. For example, use electronic resume services to broadcast your resume. List yourself in appropriate trade association newsletters. Prepare 3 x 5 Rolodex cards that contain your name, address, and phone number on the front and your objective and skills from your resume on the back. Leave them behind wherever you go and give them to anyone who has reason to contact you later about a job.
14. Accept a temporary position or volunteer work. Be your own working advertisement by accepting a temporary position. This provides you with valuable experience, contacts, and references. Volunteer for organizations and activities with business sponsors and relationships that increases your visibility and personal contacts. Explore your possibilities and leave all options open. You never know which method may ultimately land you your ideal job.
15. Make cold-calls. Next to face-to-face meetings, the telephone is the most effective method available to find a job. Every call you make is an opportunity to sell yourself to a prospective employer, to pursue a new job opening, or to obtain a referral. Your technique in the initial telephone call can have a categorical impact on your chances to obtain what you want from the call. Complete at least 15 calls per day. You will be astonished at the results. Always be agreeable, gentle, and positive. Smile when you speak; the listener will hear it. Prepare a brief outline for each call and rehearse it. Create brief statements that outline how you can help your prospective employer accomplish their goals. Always, always, always ask for referrals.
16. Re-define your job hunt in terms of alternative possibilities. Successful job hunters always have alternative plans ready in the background and implement them at the first sign of difficulty. Prepare alternative ways of describing what you do, alternative avenues of job hunting, alternative leads and contact lists, alternative target organizations and employers to contact, alternative ways to approach prospective companies, and alternative plans to continue your job hunt through its successful completion. The jobs are out there-you just need to be sure you are using the right methods to look for them.
17. Seek career counseling or job hunting help online. Many service providers, through the Internet, are offering career counseling services, job hunting advice, and reference tools that you can turn to in your job hunt. Some of the best of these services are free, and the number is growing astronomically each year. Your first approach would be to visit the online career centers integrated with ResumeMaker and visit each site to determine what services they have to offer. There is a virtual community just waiting to hear from you.
18. Consider federal and local government sources. The federal government is a huge resource of potential job search information, available to you at little or no cost. Several Department of Labor publications, for example, can take you through your job search from beginning to end, and help with career counseling and industry research. Call your local employment office and take advantage of the services they offer.
19. Make sure you can survive financially between jobs. Budget for the time you will be looking for a job. It is always helpful if you can get an overall view of how your money will carry you through any work search or training you may need to take on. You will have enough worries and issues to deal with and do not want to have to be concerned about your finances.
20. Set and prioritize goals while job-hunting. You need to know what you want, or else you can’t ask for it. There are literally thousands of jobs open around you. Determine what it is that you want, set your goals for achieving this, and prioritize the steps that you will ultimately need to take. The more specific you are about your goal, the better your chances of getting the job you want.
21. Zero in on a career position and research the market. Before you start meeting people, you need to know something about the industry or field you want to work in. The more you know, the better your conversations with prospective employers will be-and the more impressed they will be with you.
22. Interview others for information. Interview people whose occupations interest you. You can always find someone who has done something that at least approximates what you want to do. Find the names of such persons, and go see, phone, or write them. You will learn a great deal that is relevant to your dream.
23. Organize a job search campaign. Organize your job search campaign. Failing to do so is a common flaw in many people’s job search strategy. Make a plan for your job search. This entails: planning and organizing your job strategy, setting up a base or operations center for your job hunt, preparing materials, and carrying out job search tactics.
24. Update your resume and be prepared. Update that resume! A resume is what nearly everyone you approach in your job search is going to ask for. Get your resume in top shape. Use a professional service or ResumeMaker to prepare a show-stopping resume!
25. Keep yourself dedicated, strong, positioned, and consistent. Job-hunting can certainly be one of life’s most stressful experiences. You have more power to keep the pressures of job hunting under control, however, than you may think. The key is to focus your job search and stay strong, dedicated and consistent. One of the curious things about the human brain is that it focuses on only one thing at a time. So keep it focused on you-and finding a job!
