Tips for finding a job faster
Reprinted courtesy of TheCareerNews.com
MILWAUKEE, WI -- I received a desperate inquiry from a job seeker recently, asking how she could bring her job search to a quick and successful end -- finances made it necessary to land work soon. Unfortunately, there are no simple answers to this common challenge.
A thoughtful job search is generally a drawn out experience, involving soul searching, endless networking, a number of unsuccessful interviews and possibly a few offers you decide not to accept. Everything will take longer than expected. You really can't rush the process, so my first suggestion is that you immediately find the highest paying part-time job you can, to provide income to subsidize your job search.
The second suggestion is that you work your job search harder and smarter. Harder: If you aren't spending at least 40 hours a week working your job search, don't kid yourself that you are doing everything you can to find work. Smarter: If you aren't 100% confident your time is being spent in the most optimal manner, consult with a career coach. Finally, never forget to focus plenty of your energy into networking.
