Bravo!

All 5 points are job search 'musts;' I think many people enter into job search feeling they must simply (and quickly) whip up a resume and hit the streets running and/or slap up their resume on multiple job boards and tell everyone, 'I'm available; I'm valuable.'

Instead, the complexity of job search requires a well thought out plan that answers the multiple questions you articulate, targeting their message and their focus. As well, it requires daily action steps, some of which require stepping out of one's comfort zone; as you describe, breaking down those uncomfortable steps into manageable bites makes it do-able (making just one phone call a day, for example).

Love your posts – they're both pragmatic and lively!

Thank you!
