Q: I have been searching for a job for months. I have been sending resumes and letting everyone I know that I need a job like all of the career books recommend and yet I still have no prospects. Part of me just wants to take the next job I see, no matter what it is. What am I doing wrong?
A: I am glad you asked this question. It is a very common concern and it has lead more than a few people to take less than desirable jobs, maybe before it was really necessary.
The Job Search
There are so many things that one has to consider when executing a successful job search and when it seems as though you are doing everything right and there are still no potential offers on the horizon, it can be very disheartening. The critical thing to remember when you reach this stage is that every step along the way has value.
Signs that You have the Job Search Blues
You wake up and decide you are not going to waste your time searching anymore.
You sit on the couch all day and watch bad TV wondering why it seems like everyone on TV is much happier than you and in far batter jobs.
You seriously consider taking a job that would result in a drastic pay cut and that requires you to do something you hate or something for which you are grossly overqualified.
You imagine yourself in a variety of less than desirable jobs and feel trapped in your own miserable existence.
You glorify the job you left and you wonder why you ever decided to leave.

Ever hear the term 'sexy' advertising? It's not necessarily what you think. Sure, some people's idea of sexy advertising is hot babes in bikinis spraying beer all over each other, but that's overtly sexual and not what we're about to discuss here.Do you engage sexy advertising in your marketing campaign? If not, you should."Sexy" advertising refers to ads that are highly targeted, yet artfully subtle - and therefore, extremely attractive to the key consumer.I'm going to try and cur

The most common decision for smaller start up companies is whether to form a LLC or corporation with a "s election". Both entities have many similarities such as limited liability protection of personal assets against lawsuits and debts. However, there are several differences, especially in regards to taxation. Although there is a lot of information regarding s-corporations and LLC's in general, there is very little available that breaks down the important differences. Below I have summarized the major charac

When a new nonprofit is created, the founder or founder(s) generally recruit a small group of people they know and trust to help get things going.

As a cleaning company we get called in to carry out builders cleans on new builds and refurbishments. Time and time again what we see is that the designer has had something built, laid or put in place solely on the grounds that it looks good with no regard as to how it will stand up to use or the practicalities of trying to keep it clean and looking good. They produce their design, see it through to the finish and then walk away. Only later does it become apparent that it is completely impractical from a clea
You glorify the job you left and you wonder why you ever decided to leave.
What Not To Do
Lose hope. The average job search can last between 3-6 months and sometimes longer for executives. Many result in positive placements.
Stop researching the job market and fail to stay current on what is happening in companies in your industry.
Stop sending out resumes and stop building your network.
Take the first job you are offered because you are afraid it will be the only one.
Take a job that is strictly for bringing in a paycheck and then deciding to stay put because you hate the job search process.
Lose confidence in your abilities and lose sight of what you have to offer an organization. The length of time a job search takes, the number of rejections you get, and the number of interviews you secure is directly related to your level of confidence and feelings of self-efficacy. Remember that interviewers will pick up on any feelings of inadequacy you may have and this will only hurt you.
What To Do
Do something every day that propels your job search in a positive direction. That may mean setting up another informational interview or asking someone in your network for the names of 2 other people with whom you might want to talk.
Strategize and evaluate what you have done. Document what has worked and what has not and make adjustments as needed.
Continue to build your network. Be as relevant as you can when you are talking to people and telling them what you are hoping to accomplish with this job search. The more relevant you can be, the more likely you are to get connected to people who may be able to help you.
Stay positive. Create a vision for yourself and imagine yourself fulfilling it with your new job.
Remember to spend some time each day doing something you love to do and surround yourself
