How long will my job search take?
There are many variables in determining the length of a job search campaign. These are some of the factors that will impact the length of your search: |
Attitude.
The more positive and optimistic you are, the sooner you will find a position. People around you need to sense a "winning" attitude.
Amount/Quality of Effort.
The more time you put into your search, the less time you will be out there searching. Of course, this also means using your time effectively to maximize impact.
Condition of Your Job Market.
If your chosen industry is depressed and you don't want to explore other options for transferring your skills, it will take longer. If your skills are in demand, it will take less time.
Position/Salary Level.
If you are seeking a senior-level position or are pricing yourself too high for a given job market, you may search longer. A recent study by the American Management Association found that workers under the age of 35 took an average of 3.4 months to find a job and on average their new jobs paid 110.7 percent of what their previous jobs paid. In contrast, those ages 45 to 54 took an average of 5.6 months to find a new job, and those jobs on average paid 95.5 percent of what the previous job paid.
Age.
Although it is illegal to discriminate because of age, older people generally need more time to find a new position. Learning how to reposition your mature judgment and experience as a benefit is key to offsetting biases.
Remember there are jobs for young people, middle-aged people and older people. An entry-level position will not be filled by someone sixty and a senior management position will not be filled by someone who is twenty. You will find that by working hard at your job search and utilizing all available resources, positions will be available. Your age is an issue only if you exaggerate it.
Geographic Limitations.
Limiting your search to a favored region may lengthen it. Being open to relocation will no doubt provide increased opportunities.
Lasting Impressions.
Carefully preparing and presenting yourself well to your personal contacts and during interviews increases your chances of being hired. If you can articulate your skills and interests; who you are, what you've done and what you can do, you will probably find work faster than someone who can't.
What Should I Do Between Now and When I Start The Process?
Don't panic. Jumping into the job market too soon, sending outdated resumes or making desperate phone calls to old friends, associates or search firms can work against you.
You should be preparing to launch an effective search. You need to assess your goals, prepare a resume and other marketing documents that reflect your direction, plan a self marketing strategy and have an outplacement consultant or personal coach on your side ready to guide you before you rush into today's competitive and sophisticated marketplace.
If you are contacted by search firms, potential employers, or friends informing you of potential jobs, let them know that you appreciate their interest. At this time, however, you are reviewing your options and will get back to them soon. This keeps the door open and gives you the chance to get yourself organized and mentally ready to present yourself in the best possible light.
One of the benefits of an outplacement consultant
is having a trained professional with whom you can
be comfortable expressing your thoughts and emotions
about your situation. Until you start working with
OI Partners - Lifocus and are assigned a consultant, be careful
when discussing your circumstances with friends
and associates. These are the same people you might
need for references and networking contacts, and
you don't want to mistakenly say something that
reflects negatively on you. Start planning. Evaluate
your finances so you can set a target date of when
you need to begin work again. This will help as
you organize your job search and consider offers.
Think about whether relocating is a possibility
and start listing companies and contacts for reference
later. Whatever you decide to do, decide to get
started. |
