The Efficient Nonacademic Job Search

When you enter the job market, it is tempting to spend your time applying to as many jobs as possible.

• When should you apply for jobs that you are not 100% qualified for?
• How you can leverage your network to get an interview?
• How you can keep track of postings from a plethora of job boards?
• How can you use LinkedIn to help the job search process?
