A job search can be a little like dating. It can be easy to go online to find an initial match, but what comes after that is the most important thing. Will the first date (or interview) become a long-term relationship? Or will it be a bust?

Job search can be tough. It's not just about finding a job – some work. It is important to find the right job, a job that is fit for you now and in the future, as either a step towards your career or as a long-term opportunity with which you will be comfortable. If it's wrong, if the position doesn't work you will end up having to start a job search again. Besides being overwhelming, you will not be seen as a work hopper while writing the curriculum vitae.

Because job search and hard work are time spent, and because a job does not work and you finally quit or get killed, it is better to spend your time trying to get it right from the moment you start searching. Here are five tips for finding a job you love.

1.Make a Match

Before starting your job search, spend time securing the right job. If you don't know what you want to do, take a career test or two to produce any ideas. If required, seek job counseling or advice to help you move in the right direction. Using job search engines to find jobs that suit your expertise, knowledge and interests.

2.Get the Inside Scoop

Don't apply for the job only. Take it one more move. Use your LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and other network sites to find out who you know in the business. Tell them for knowledge and information about the company as well as the job in general. Your contacts may also be able to refer you to the position. See the LinkedIn page of the company and social media profiles for information.

3.Interviewing Works Both Ways

It is just as important for you to interview the client as it is for you to interview. Be prepared to answer questions from the interview and have a list of questions that you are prepared to ask. If you are not 100% positive of a job offer and you have not seen the people you're going to work for, inquire if your future boss and friends will meet you. It is also perfectly good to ask for time if you have to worry about a job offer.

4. Check out the Company Culture

The role might sound great, but would you like to work for the company? Is the culture of the company sufficient for you at this stage? Is it too formal – or too informal? How is the company structured? Are there prospects for progress? Do spend some time hearing what the workers on "Glassdoor.com" have to say. If you are a college graduate, ask your local office if they have a network with which you can communicate. Refer to your LinkedIn ties with questions.

5.Make Sure the Job Is a Good Fit

In addition to ensuring that you want to work for the company, analyze the work bid carefully. Would you really like this job? You'll be able to do it? Will your future be boosted? Will it give you the stability or harmony between work and life you need? Is the pay as you anticipated? If not, is it an option to negotiate a higher pay? Is your employee benefits sufficient to meet your needs? How about the schedule of work, the hours and travel when necessary? Though you think twice about the job or compensation package, the time is right before you accept the offer.

Obviously, not all occupations work well, even if you do all the right things. However, if you are careful in every step of the job search process and take the time to do due diligence before saying "yes" to the hiring manager, you will better match your situation.
