Are you frustrated with your job search? Is it becoming tiresome and stressful? Yes, job searching is tough and can take time (average job search takes 4-6 months), but there are a few things you can do to make it more manageable. Before discussing techniques, let’s be clear that candidates need to do more than sitting at a computer and applying for jobs through websites. Be proactive in your job search. Here are three strategies:
• Volunteering: This gives you a chance to get experience in a field you would like to work in and also develop and enhance skills that are related towards that career. Also, allows you to make connections with people in career fields of interest to you.
• Informational Interviews: This form of networking is one of the top job search methods. It involves talking with people who are currently working in the field to gain a better understanding of an occupation or industry and to build a network of contacts in that field.
• Professional Organizations: Most career fields have an association that offers professional development resources, networking opportunities and sometimes job postings. Try to attend a conference to learn more about the field and also meet professionals in the career you are interested in.
Using a variety of techniques in your job search increases your chance of successfully getting the job you want while also decreasing the amount of frustration and stress.
