Is the job search taking longer than you expected? Are you feeling discouraged because you’re not getting the kind of offers or feedback that you want or need? Job search fatigue is real.
When you’re in the thick of an intense job hunt, the stress of the “network, apply, interview, eat, sleep, repeat” routine can start to wear even the most confident, self-assured job seekers down.
Most recruiters today advise their clients that the average search for a professional position lasts about 6 months. That figure can even be much longer for certain industries or older job seekers.
Dealing with such an extended period of uncertainty and rejection is hard on your self-esteem and peace of mind. You may also face financial pressure, especially if you’re unemployed.
If your job search is taking longer than you expected, it’s important to find a way to stay motivated and persistent.
Take a look at these tips for assessing your efforts and maintaining a positive attitude.
Your job search can stretch out even when you’re working hard and making strategic choices. On the other hand, if you’re not receiving responses to your applications or fielding job offers after interviewing, it could be time to upgrade your efforts.
If you’re running out of money or tired of hearing that another candidate was a better fit for the position, you may need to strengthen your belief in yourself and your future. Employers want to see confidence as well as a strong resume.
When a long job search is stirring up difficult emotions, remind yourself that this is temporary. Keep moving forward and exploring each opportunity until you find an employer who appreciates your talents and resilience
