Transitional Friday: 10 Lessons I learned from Job Searching

 

 

 

 

 

Even before unemployment kicked in, I spent two years searching for a position.

Searching for a job is very overwhelming and frustrating.

What I learned is:

1. There are so many options it is overwhelming
2. There are times when there seems to be no options to choose from
3. Narrowing down a job position is essential
4. Although I want to rush the process, the company has other concerns that can slow things
5. Networking is essential
6. Persistence pays off
7. I must have confidence in myself and my abilities
8. Seek help from anyone and everyone possible—the least they can say is no
9. In time the right fit will come along
10. God is in control and has a plan
