This chapter helps you work through how you will pull together your overall job search approach. This doesn’t have to be done at once, but it is good to think about the big picture, not just the individual job applications. Before you even submit a job application, it is very useful to understand what you want to apply for, why, where, and who you can gain insights from. This takes reflection and time, but it is important. If you do not understand some of your priorities, it can be very hard to land in the right job, even if you have all the right qualifications and skills.
