People who struggle for months to find work always seem to be in the process of doing something.
When I ask how the job hunt is going, they tell me they are making progress.
When I ask how they measure it, they normally don’t give me anything specific.
They can’t create a list of target employers because they’re in the process of deciding what jobs to apply for.
Or they can’t apply for jobs because they’re in the process of revising their resume.
Highly successful job seekers know that results are all that matter. And results are measurable. Therefore, they set specific goals and take action to reach them.
Think back to last week. How many people did you meet in person and discuss your job search with?
A job seeker who meets three networking contacts with an imperfect resume, will get hired faster than one who spends all week revising their resume — and meets nobody.
By the way, “Click and Apply” for a job only counts if you are wasting time.
One way to start is to keep track and classify your hours spent job hunting.
A couple of classifications to get you started are:
- Hours spent speaking with some hiring authority.
- Hours spent researching companies.
- Hours spent at a networking event.
- Hours spent learning implementing a new Job Hunting tactic
