# Job Search Overview

Job Search Toolkit \(things you need for an effective job search\):

- Resumé and cover letter
- Interview Skills
- References
- LinkedIn profile

Find an opportunity

- Strategic Networking
- Apply to jobs posted online

Once you have a complete job search toolkit, then it’s a matter of finding the opportunity, which is done through a combination of strategic networking and applying to posted jobs. About 80% of jobs are gotten through connections so it’s recommended that strategic networking be about 80% of your job searching efforts.
