subject: Hole On Then You Will Make It [print this page] Have you ever lost yourself in job-hunting? You may start feeling down as time passes by during your job hunt. After all, there are only so many rejections that one can take, right?
A lot of issues and difficulties will stand in the way, esp. for a graduate. Lets talk about some common ones. Searching for a job can be a job in itself. When job hunting is that you may at times have to back off from looking because even though, you know people are not turning you
down for a position because they do not like you, it may start to feel like it. Obviously, these people do not even know you at all. There is nothing personal in their refusal to hire you. Its not because they dont care for your handbag.
A new study led by a University of Minnesota psychologist says you should keep your head up. The research found that the 76 percent who kept a go-getter attitude during the job hunt found a job after four months. "Searching for a job isn't like learning a skill, where maintaining a positive attitude may be easier as you see improvement with effort," says psychologist Ruth Kanfer, one of the researchers in the study. "Beyond landing a job, you get almost no feedback."
The harder you work at staying positive, the more effort you'll put into the job hunt. The study found that by the fourth month of job searching, participants decreased the time they spent looking for jobs. They went from initially dedicating 17 hours per week to 14 hours a week. It's natural to get a bit discouraged, but keep in mind that as long as you keep at it, the higher your chances will be of scoring a job.
We can say when a job-hunter goes through a mining process in the spiral chute of ore beneficiation, then nothing will seem that tough during job-hunting.
