Destination: Dream Job 35 | Job Searching isn't Easy!
Job searching isn’t easy.
You may have heard that:
> The job market is more competitive
> Getting a job is harder than ever
> People are applying for thousands of jobs and not hearing back
While those things are true – it’s not the case for everyone.
Some people are getting job offers and transitioning careers to their dream job.
If you are deep in the job search process, here are 3 things you can do to support yourself during this transition:
> Be realistic in your Expectations
Remember for online applications there is about a 5% response rate. That means to get one response you would need to apply for 20 jobs. (on average)
(That’s why networking is key!)
> Take Time for Self-Care
Job searching can be challenging on your mental health and confidence. Take time for yourself and build supports throughout the process.
> Re-Evaluate your Strategy
Tracking your applications can help you see where there might be roadblocks in your job search.
Do you keep getting rejected after submitting online? It’s time to revamp that resume.
Do you struggle with getting second interviews? Time to brush up on your interview skills.
Take a listen to this weeks podcast episode on Destination: Dream Job for all the details!
