• Always keep your social profiles professional and share content very carefully. Double check your grammar and spelling because you might never know who is watching your profile.
• LinkedIn is a professional website used by many companies and recruiters. Always update Your LinkedIn Profile with relevant keywords and details. Make your networking big and wide this will help you in finding new opportunities
• Make most of the interview: Be confident enough and describe about your abilities and achievements when in an interview.
• Connect with people of your field both in online and offline world.
• Use real jobs sites since the online job listings can many time be quite tricky hence try applying directly to employers' application system
• Catchy and well written resume can many times come handy as this is kind of introductory note/personal branding note for a person who does not know us yet.
• Negotiate Your Salary: Employers will always offer the lowest bid and don’t accept it since your work is valued much more than what they have offered you. Try getting maximum out of them.

Apart from the points listed above you can always create your own opportunities as you can search for hiring manager and contact him to apply for jobs. Job search strategies often changes with time but one thing remain common, that is the zeal to achieve the best.
