How to Fix a Failed Job Search
By Kevin Donlin | March 27th, 2009
My latest job search column, on how to restart a prolonged, unsuccessful job search, is archived on The Employment Guide web site.
Quote:
Here’s an excerpt from (a job seeker’s) email: “My county is experiencing a 12.5% reported unemployment rate, which means the real unemployment rate is between 18% and 20%.”
Kevin’s comments: Computing the “real” unemployment rate is like computing the wind chill — why look for more ways to make yourself miserable?
Here’s another way to look at those numbers: 20% unemployment means 80% employment. Eight of 10 people who want a job, have a job.
What other money-paying endeavor offers an 80% success rate? Think of those 8-in-10 odds to boost your confidence level.
