Finding Work in Troubled Times

It’s no secret that unemployment is high and much-needed work is often scarce. That being said, it’s still possible to find work; you just have to go about it the right way.

When it comes to securing a job, some people feel powerless. They feel that it doesn’t matter what they do; at the end of the day, the decision of whether or not they’ll be employed rests on
someone else’s shoulders. Because of this feeling, it’s hard to work up the motivation and confidence required to get out there, pound the pavement and get the job you want.

The key to finding a job, however, is having the confidence in your ability to go out there and get it. It’s about knowing that you control your future and that, with the right strategy and approach, you can build that future.

One of the most important parts of finding a job is knowing what you’re looking for. Therefore, before you can get serious about your job hunt, you have to take some time to sit back and
think about where you want to end up. Come up with the exact job that you want and put your best efforts towards securing it. By focusing on a particular job, you can make the necessary
decisions and moves that work towards it.

It’s true that the most successful people are those who are goal-oriented. This means that they take the time to set goals for themselves and work hard to reach them. They come up with a
backup plan when original plans get stymied, while realizing that they have the ability to overcome and achieve. This is the mentality that you must adopt to go out and get the job that you want.

Also, you should know exactly the companies you’re applying to and the people you need to speak to. You should know what they do and, therefore, how you can best service them. This
attention to detail goes a long way in both how you will perform and how others will see you.

Another strategy is to use the contacts you already have. Depending on how long you were working at your previous job, you may have a number of contacts for people in related fields that you’ve done business with over the years and any one of them could have a line on a job opportunity for you.

When you’re thinking about the job you’d like to land and the best way to pursue it, don’t forget to dust off your old rolodex, sift through the business cards you’ve collected or check
through your e-mail and cell phone contact lists. For all you know, a contact could have a great opportunity available that’s right up your alley!

Remember, you’re not begging for a job. Asking contacts if they know of anything is normal behavior and acceptable. In fact, more people got their current job through a contact than
you may think!
