Site. If it is in another country, weigh the cost of living to the salary offered. If they are in the same area, which one is nearer to your home?

Company. Research well the company you will be working for. The number of years that it has been established, the stability of the company.

If you still have a hard time deciding, then use your instincts. Listen to yourself and evaluate how you feel about each job. You will be the one who’ll be stuck with that career.

One thing you must try is to take advantage of social networking sites such as Facebook, Friendster and Myspace. This is to gain more connections with old acquaintances and open new opportunities with the people which gets along your way. This can be a good headstart for your job hunting.

Don’t dwell much on Internet job boards and help-wanted advertisements. It is good to post your resume online, but don’t spend too much of your time online, lesser job openings mean more people are wanting the same job and position posted.

It would be a plus if you request more face-to-face meetings. This is to gain more background information and leave a better impression each time you meet.

Be advanced in searching jobs. You have to increase your patience and send numbers of letters and place lots of phone calls. Better your odds by doing so.

Be very flexible. Sometimes, when there’s too much uncertainty, employers might not give you a full-time job, but will offer you a part-time contract or project work, which would be way less than you are wanting to earn. So, as much as possible, show them what you can do, be the best that you can be and let them know that you’re what they need and you’re an asset in their company.
