Just when the caterpillar thought
the world was ending,
he turned into a butterfly.
– Proverb
I know that a job search can be a dark place–filled with rejection and uncertainty (especially if you were laid off or fired).
I just want to remind you today that where you are now is temporary. There is a job at the end of this path. The only difference between a job search and a job is one phone call, one conversation, or one email.
Be encouraged today. Go through the process because there is a reward at the end.
Make the phone call. Send the email.
If something you’re doing isn’t working, change it.
If you aren’t getting interviews, redo your resume. Make sure your resume grabs attention with numbers, dollars, and percentages.
If you are getting interviews but not job offers, check how you answer interview questions. Bring a 30-60-90-Day Plan. If you still aren’t getting job offers, see an interview coach.
There’s always something you can do to speed the butterfly transformation along.
Best of luck!
