JOB SEARCH REALITIES & WHAT THIS MEANS FOR JOB SEEKERS

ON AVERAGE, IT CAN TAKE UP TO 6-9MONTHS TO FIND AND SECURE A JOB.

KEEP IN MIND THIS TYPICAL TIMEFRAME AND PLAN YOUR JOB SEARCH ACCORDINGLY.

A MAJORITY OF OPEN POSITIONS ARE NEVER ADVERTISED.

NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK! (More on this later)

IT’S A NUMBERS GAME. CAST A WIDE NET (More on this later).

YOUR FIRST JOB OUT OF COLLEGE MAY OR MAY NOT BE YOUR PERFECT JOB.

IF YOU CAN’T FIND THE PERFECT JOB, FIND AN IMPERFECT JOB WITH CAREER-BUILDING OR NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES.

YOUR PLAN A MAY OR MAY NOT WORK OUT.

HAVE A PLAN B THAT YOU CAN PURSUE IN THE SHORT TERM IF PLAN A DOESN’T WORK. HAVING A PLAN B CAN EASE ANXIETY.
