Job Hunting When You Are Unemployed?
Job hunting is always challenging, but it can be more difficult if you’ve been out of work
for a while. You’ve heard it said, “The best time to get a job is when you have a job.”
That seems to be true. Is it due to the job seekers mindset or the mindset of the marketplace?
The good news is that in the current marketplace, the stigma of being unemployed has
all but lost its sting. But, when you need employment, the pressure is on, so you might
be looking at a broader spectrum of opportunities or be considering taking a step back
in order to get back to work. That’s a good fall back strategy, but beware of applying for positions that are outside of your skill set. Before you go that route, give some thought to how that would look from the hiring managers’ point of view. If your background and the job description don’t really match, would you consider yourself a good fit for the job?
A reputable recruiter can guide you and offer a perspective you don’t have, while helping you to find the right opportunity for you.
