Job Search is also front end loaded. Current job searches involve extensive networking.

The result is that everyday you delay at the beginning of the search, means about 3 days longer at the end of your search before you land a job.
John Lees presents 10 steps to making your job search more productive that focus mostly on the research and preparation of your search.
Some of his best suggestions involve:
