GETTING THE EMPLOYER'S ATTENTION: Job Development is a multi-task activity with unique skills needed for each task. There are specific competency skills and time management required to complete each of these tasks. Job development begins with PROSPECTINGand is successful when all four tasks are completed. As the initial task, PROSPECTING must be completed for any employment outcome to be achieved. If the PROSPECTING task is not successful none of the other tasks can be started. A focus on PROSPECTING enhances success in all the other job development tasks and activities.
