Review your social media. Before you begin to search for a job, make sure to go through your social media and remove anything inappropriate.

Improve your LinkedIn. LinkedIn plays an important role in searching for a job and you should keep it updated and filled with information.

Sign up for various job sites and get new job offers deliv-ered to your inbox daily.

Have some attention-grabbing stories up your sleeve. If you don’t want to bore the interviewer to death, make sure your responses are honest and from the heart. Most candidates give the same generic answers, being yourself is the best way to stand out.

Research before the interview. Not only should you know about the company as much as possible, you should go even further. You might want to look up the LinkedIn profiles of people who work there, go through their blog, and think up questions and ideas you might have about what they’re doing. It will come handy.
