New Year resolutions for job seekers

Yes, New Year(N.Y.)resolutions: there are only a few days left in 2010, and with all the things that you've been doing, you've had little time to think about your New Year resolutions. That's why most people fall back on the old standbys resolutions when December 31 comes. They exercise more, save more, and try to eat right. We just don't have the time to plan for any major changes.

But making a New Year resolution is so important, because its your gift to you. And if you're a job seeker, a New Year's resolution can help you with your job search in the new year.

To make a good New Year resolution, you need to follow a solid plan that will help you reach your goal. This is what you should do:

Make solid goals
We all tend to make too general resolutions, such as wanting to lose weight or finding a job. While these good goals to set, they are too general, when what you really need is a plan. Let take your job search in 2011, you need to break it down into list of attainable goals. Once you have finished a step, then move on to the next.

Begin where you are
Like any good list of things you need to do, you need to start with things things you can complete quickly. This will help stay motivated. If your list starts off too tough the chances of you getting started are slim.

Think of what you need to do for your job search, but that you've been putting off like updating your resume, contacting an old friends, or joining that new organization. These should be things that you can knock off your list pretty fast, and that you have the skills to complete now.

Push the envelope
Any good New Year resolution should push you in a direction that can really benefit your job search. Think about the things you've wanted to learn but you did not make time to.

Review these goals in 2011
Another reason most people don't accomplish their goals is that they lose momentum somewhere around March. As you plan write your goals down, build in deadlines and checkpoints to help gauge your progress.

Give yourself rewards
Finding your dream job can be a long process, so it's important to reward yourself for the smaller steps you take and each of the goals you reach. It doesn't have to be anything big but giving yourself rewards will help keep you motivated through out the year.
