ator pitch on your friends and keep practicing until you believe what you are saying.

9. Network
Your chances of getting a job are much better when you know someone at the company, but if you don’t, then get out there and network. Network at the local coffee shop as you are standing in line, talk to other moms at your playdate gathering, or sign up for a business networking group online.

10. Network Through Facebook
A great way to build a fast network of friends is through Facebook. It takes fifteen minutes to sign up and pretty soon you’ll have people finding you. Once you have your friends, ask them if they know anyone in the industry you are interested in. Post a status update on Facebook and tell people you are looking for a job or starting a business. You’d be surprised how many people will respond.

11. Hire a Business Coach
There are many business coaches on the internet. They can clarify your goals and objectives and help you land your dream job.

12. Create a Resume
Do a google search for “resume template” and use that to create your resume. Make sure the resume is easy to read and clear. It’s always helpful to run it by a few friends to make sure everything makes sense.

13. Compile a List of References
List three to four people who could give you a work recommendation and get their name, title, address, phone number, and email.

14. Market Yourself
Set up a profile on Linkedin. Linkedin is a social utility network that connects people in business. Sign up and upload your profile and business experience online. This is also a good way to get noticed by recruiters.

15. Be Prepared
Once you finally get an interview … be prepared and research the company you’re applying for. What do they do? How long have they been in business? What’s new in their industry? Who are the players? The more knowledge you have, the better.

16. Be Direct and Ask for What You Want and Deserve
It never hurts to ask. If you only want to work three days a week, then make the arrangement ahead of time with the employer. If you want a higher salary, then ask for what you think you deserve because … if you don’t, you won’t be happy. Remember, you deserve the best, so ask for what you want.
