Restart a Stalled Job Search
June 03, 2003
Of the nearly nine million people without
jobs in the U.S., almost half a million of them were so discouraged that
they stopped looking for work over the past year, according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
Many of the unemployed are talented, hardworking people with college and
advanced degrees, strong technical qualifications and managerial skills,
says CareerJournal.com, The Wall Street Journal's executive career site.
They have become so demoralized by searches that stretch on for months,
disappointing offers or outright rejections that they are leaving the job
market altogether.
"During this stressful and challenging time, professionals must learn to
think more creatively about how they approach the job market and to be more
resourceful and resilient," advises Tony Lee, editor in chief of
CareerJournal.com. "Steadily sending out resumes and cover letters that fall
into the hands of indifferent recruiters, making phone calls that seldom get
returned, and begging for jobs you didn't even want can be extremely
demoralizing."
To restart your job search, CareerJournal.com advises that job seekers take
the time and initiative to evaluate their needs and develop the proper
attitudes, strategies and support systems to sustain them for the long haul.
"There doesn't seem to be a brighter job outlook in the near future," says
Mr. Lee. "Conducting a successful search in this economy takes time,
patience, creativity and resilience."
