Step One: Set up your objectives.

What do you say when someone asks you what type of job you're looking for? It may be tempting to say that you be open to a wide range of positions, industries, businesses and organizations. Maybe you are, but this is unlikely to help him get a job quickly. The wider casting his net and his message clear clouds. It seems, in his presentation, resume, cover letter and online interviews.

It will be a tough sell to a potential employer or a new business contact, if you do not reduce its scope. It's not something that you can control at night, but these exercises will help you to optimize what your skills and interests, and where they are used effectively.
