Does your job search feel like you are climbing Mt. Everest
The long climb during the job search process

Does your job search feel like you are climbing Mt. Everest

You have been looking for a new job for the past 2,3,4,5,6+ months and you have been unsuccessful. You have applied to over 50+ jobs, getting very few interviews and no job offers. You begin questioning your abilities, your techniques and your desire and are starting down a path of fear, depression and anxiety. Your job search starts to feel like you are climbing a 29,035 foot mountain and realize you are only at 15,000 feet , with another 14,035 feet to go. The time is now to develop a new strategy and get a new support team who are going to help you reach the summit and secure your next job that will pay you more money and get you back on track towards reaching your career goals.

Top 7 things you can do to reach your job search summit and secure your next job

  1. Stop doing the same thing and change your strategy
  2. Hire a job search/career coach you can be part of your support team
  3. Schedule weekly calls with your job search/career coach to review your resume and linkedIn profile and make the necessary changes that will increase your odds of securing more interviews.
  4. Hire an interview coach who can help you fine-tune your interview skills and improve your odds of getting hired.
  5. Build your virtual network of contacts.
  6. Get physically and mentally fit. The remaining 14,035 feet of this climb requires you to be at your best both physically and mentality and requires a high degree of stamina.
  7. Keep going. Don't stop, keep pushing and be aggressively patient.
