Читать книгу How to Get a Job In a Recession: A Comprehensive Guide to Job Hunting In the 21st Century - Denise M.D. Taylor - Страница 8

Please be realistic about how long your job search will take. It generally takes three months in a good economy from first looking to starting work in a new job. In a recession it could easily take twice this. It depends on the type of job you are seeking; the higher your salary requirement, the longer it is likely to take you. It’s obviously easier (quicker) to get a lower-paid job as there are so many more of them. I’ve allocated you the first couple of weeks for preparation. It could take less if you are already ‘job–search’ ready and/or you are working full time on job search. That’s why it’s important to have an up-to-date CV should you need to get a job fast. Too many people think of job search as something that can be done in 2-3 hours a week, but if your time is as restricted as this you will have barely begun even after several months.

Keeping a daily log and monitoring your progress will help in your job search. Noting down what you have done each day, what you have learnt from it and what you are going to do next day will keep you on track.
