Can’t Find A Job? How To Conduct A Successful Job Search

April 26, 2009

There’s no denying that unemployment is rising dramatically.

While you may be applying for every job opportunity, you may be wasting much of your time applying for jobs for which you are either overqualified or unqualified. If you can’t find a job within a month of diligent searching, it’s easy to become desperate. The stress and pressure of trying to meet financial obligations leads many people to discard a targeted job search strategy and apply for every job listed in the paper.
