The worst days in a job-search
In my experience, the worst days in a job search are, if nothing happens. No phone calls will get no e-mails, no events or coffee, etc. have
During my job search last year, I took it before a decision or any kind of communication (albeit negative) to the emptiness of a quiet day. I vividly remember one day when I came out of a network meeting with no expectations, checked my voicemail and found three entries. Two of the threewere negative but all cleared up three long-lasting opportunities that had been nagging me. Despite the poor results, I was thrilled to take such chances of closure, as it forced me to re-focus on the remaining possibilities and to help launch a new attempt.
Is it only me? "I do not really like ambiguity when it comes to job search. If you love me, please let me know. If not, let me go.
I had an experience during the last search, where I wasrushed through the process at one of my target companies, met twice with the CEO (I even called back twice on the same day). These guys loved me and wanted to move quickly, is not it? Not so much, as it turns out. After 8 interviews over three days, someone threw cold water on the fire and let it smolder for nearly 8 weeks. You really have to manage the expectations, right?
Question: So, how do you manage to set up your job search, build and keep yourDynamics?
Answer: You have to drive activity constant.
This means:
1st Regular communication with your network (ie, a quick update so you know they're still out there).
2nd Constant (but effective see) use of the site, what's out there and possibly with the relevant roles.
3rd The creation of new relationships by networking current network extensions. Ask a person in your network: Who else should I talk?.
4th ParticipatingNetworking-distance events on foot and with no less than 5 fixed new contacts.
5th Find ways to help people in your network. This can help a fellow job seeker and a recruiter help you find a candidate for a role, quite the thing for you do not.
6th Expand your network by identifying micro-use previously untapped groups of people a reason to want to have to help you.
7th Finding a friendly but clear ways to insert your "job search" status to friends,Neighbours and others.
8th With your spouse or partner as an evangelist for your search.
9th Building a clear and specific list of target companies. How can people help if they do not know what you want?
10th Maintain a beautiful series of personal, at the ready, marketing materials. Business cards, resume, a pager, an elevator speech. You never know when an opportunity will slam to impress.
At the end of the day, if you wait to sit at your computerthat something happens, it will not. Results come as a result of your work efforts, no driving - because you are a deserving, well-liked person.
The other thing to remember is that a good response rate in outbound e-mails and phone calls to about 20 percent. While careful not need to burn your network, the worse the sin in passive or too cautious.
As a final note, be memorable and remember to thank everyone who helps you (even in the smallest species). From my ownExperiences in trying to help seekers, job, I can tell you the fastest way to burn out, flame or discourages those "can help you to forget, to say thank you."
