1.First 
assess your skills, experience and goals, and select appropriate employment fields that interest you.

2.
Spread the word. Tell everyone you know and meet that you are looking for a job; you will be surprised at the number of opportunities you'll discover this way.

3.
You have to Network. Attend professional-association meetings in your industry, scour the associations' membership directories for contacts, and schedule informational interviews with people in the field. Always get more names of people to contact at the end of the informational interview. Volunteer for work from them.

4.
Use you city. Contact your local or state employment office, or your college career center, for resources and leads.

5.
Get out of the house. The most direct way to learn about job openings is to contact employers themselves. Target an area downtown, dress the part, and stop in at every appropriate business establishment, including employment agencies, to fill out an application.

6.
Remember that many job openings are not listed in the newspaper help-wanted section. However, employers for their ease and immediacy often use the Internet job boards.

7.
Get the phone book, pick up the phone and call businesses. You might be afraid, it can be scary, and you'll hear some say 'No' a lot, but you only need a few to say 'Yes' to land a job.

8.
 Do a follow up on written contacts. Send out résumés if you must, and you'll certainly fill out applications, but these alone won't get your face in the place. Follow up with a phone call within five to seven days of every written communication.

9.Try 
asking for some interviews. If you find yourself interviewing for a position that's not for you (or with an interviewer who obviously doesn't think you're right for the opening), ask for interviews with other department heads or even with other companies that the interviewer may know are hiring.

10.
Do some research, for hiring company and its industry so that you'll have a stock of relevant questions to ask the person across the desk.

11.Make the front desk person remember you.
Give the impression that you're ready to be part of the team.



12.
Send a thank-you note after the interview. E-mail is acceptable.

13.
