A job search is usually unproductive because:
❌ It’s hard for people to define what they want next, especially if they need to change their profession or industry.
❌ They think it’s a good strategy to apply to every position, especially those below their professional level.
❌ They have a hard time accepting rejections, learning, reflecting, and adjusting their job search approach.
❌ They neglect networking.
❌ They are unaware that their resumes are outdated, poorly written, and difficult to read.
❌ They think their LinkedIn profile doesn’t matter much.
❌ They expect to get different outcomes, doing exactly the same things over and over again.
What makes a job search PRODUCTIVE:
✅ Deciding what your target role is and rewriting, designing, and tailoring your resume accordingly.
✅ Applying strategically to job postings where you MEET qualification requirements.
✅ Exploring your network and working on your networking skills.
✅ Making your resume and LinkedIn profile effective and up to date.
If there are no interviews for more than a month, consider adjusting your approach. Be wise. Work smarter, not harder.
