Create a target list of companies you’d like to work for. Figure out what kind of organization you want as your employer. Once you’ve made your list, look for companies that fit your criteria.
Update your résumé. Once you know what kind of job you want and what kind of companies you’re targeting, you can focus your résumé on the specific type of position you want.
