The best time to start looking for work is when you're still working.
Devote some time to your job hunt every day.

1. Figure out what you want to do.
1. What aren't you doing in your current/last job?
2. What do you want to learn?
3. What kind of manager do you want?
4. How much do you need to earn?
5. Do you need benefits?
   
2. Find out what companies are doing what you want to do.
1. Most businesses are small to medium-sized - don't focus on big brands!
3. Make a list of the companies that you're going to research.
4. Research those companies thoroughly.
1. Find out the stated mission of each company - does it match your values?
2. Use a networking tool like ZoomInfo or LinkedIn to contact current and former employees.
1. Ask how well the company adheres to the stated mission.
2. Ask them if they would work for the company again.
   
3. Call the HR departments and ask about the best sources for job postings.
1. Ask if the company uses any agencies for their hiring.
