Feeling Disheartened by Your Job Search?

July 16, 2018 by Martin Buckland Leave a Comment

We have all been there at some point. You have sent your resume to hundreds of different companies and, yet, there have not been any bites. When you are in the thick of it, it is easy to become disheartened.

However, the more you press on and continue your job search, the better your chances are of landing an interview and getting the job you want.

How to Maintain the Momentum in Your Job Search:

Feeling Disheartened by Your Job Search?Beef Up Your Resume
Remember, your resume is the first glimpse a hiring professional gets of you. Make it count!

Take some time to review your resume. A strong resume allows you to stand out from all the other applicants. Be sure your resume lacks spelling and grammatical errors. Make sure it accurately captures your professionalism, employment experience, achievements and not job duties, and the value you will bring to a company. You do not want to end up with a resume like this!

Take Advantage of Summer Opportunities
You may be of the belief that companies are not hiring in July and August. HR professionals are out of the office or on vacation, and these summer months seem like the worst time to be searching for a job.

On the contrary, . It is tempting to take a break during these months; however, because fewer candidates are applying for jobs, it is more likely that things will turn in your favour, and you will be awarded an interview and land the job you want.

Network
Ask your network for help, advice, or if they know of any job opportunities. You have spent time nurturing those valuable networking relationships. Now is the time to rely on those relationships you have built.

Someone in your network may have a lead that creates the perfect opportunity for you. Though it can be difficult to ask for help, you risk missed opportunities if you do not take advantage of the depth of knowledge within your network.
