If you’re searching for a new job, you’re in luck: This is a job hunter’s market. With 51% of American employees looking, there’s a lot of churn out there and so you have a definite advantage. But since the keys to a successful job hunt seem to change more quickly than you can update your résumé, it can be puzzling to figure out how best to proceed.

Every weekday for the next three weeks, we’ll challenge you to tackle another aspect of your job search, from leveraging your networking connections and refreshing your digital footprint to mastering the art of interview storytelling and positioning yourself to get poached.
