One of the best ways to find a job is to get in the habit of meeting new people. Attend networking events and who knows, you could meet a potential employer. The more people you know, the more referrals you will get if you ask around, and you will have a greater chance in landing a job. With so many people filling out job applications, what are the chances of being picked out of the thousands who have resumes better than yours? If all else fails, just pick up the yellowpage book and start calling small businesses and see if they’re hiring. If you make 100 calls, you’re bound to find someone who is willing to hire you. I hope this helps

The thing is, finding a job all depends on who you know. My resume is fine, I’ve rewritten it at least 15 times. Finding a job in another city/state is a great idea, but if you don’t know anyone at the company you’re applying to, chances of getting in are even slimmer than they already are.

Well said! I’m 38 and changing careers; it’s pretty common these days. If say, your spouse is the breadwinner, you can’t move, but you can heed the other advice. In my stop-gap job as a bartender, I network nightly with business owners, attorneys and others who can help me out. I’ve made some great connections so far and hope to put my masters degree to work very soon as a result of these referrals!

Point 3 is truly the key I think…Results are what matter to us all. Employers want to to know that we fit their goals. We are selling ourselves when we write a resume and we want to be sure we fit the bill. I think I would also add a fourth point. Seeking out self employment. I know its not possible in every field, but sometimes a career change to put yourself in control makes all the difference.

Brazen Careerist isn’t just read by 20 somethings who HAVE to find a job. Sometimes it’s read by 50 going on 60 somethings who are starting out anew after an extended absence from the workplace. It wasn’t my choice…but it is necessary. Just because I’m over 30 doesn’t mean I’m too old to use new ideas. I have gotten a stop gap job, I can’t move…but I’m going to try changing my resume. I have accomplished a lot during my lifetime! Even while I wasn’t “working” outside the home I was volunteering and was accomplishing a lot for schools, youth, sports teams and more!! Thanks for the ideas but don’t throw the oldsters out with the bathwater in the future PLEASE.

PS Temp agencies are another stop gap option which might provide work that pays better. In fact, it is often a good way to see jobs that are open within a company and to find out what the culture is like. Sometimes it is an eye opening experience that lets you know it would be better to clean up after the snake than work there.

Some of us aren’t in our 20’s anymore though! I appreciate the tips about stopgap jobs and putting achievements first on a resume. As another person said that makes alot of sense.

You may need to expand your search to different cities? Different states? For most people, this just isn’t a possibility. Especially, considering they’re unemployed in the first place. The results paragraph at the top of resume sounds like good advice.

This is a great article. And three advices are true. Expanding your job search even in other countries is the trend now. Specially with the draining economy like US. Stopgap job is also relevant. All of us have dream jobs and we want it full time of course but hello, odd jobs put money in our pockets too. And the idea of RESULT on top of the resume, I will definitely try this one thumbs up.

These days, you might have to expand your search to other …umm…countries. After 3 years of unemployment, the only thing left for me to do was strike out on my own. Thank God I read “Start.”

It all boils down to one phrase ‘Never stop searching until you finally got one’. I know there’s a lot of job waiting for us, it just that sometimes it doesn’t fit to our dream job qualification. My advice is have a lot of experience even it means a low salary, with that companies will run after you and you’ll have all the option of which job to choose.

Very inspiring post! We have to take control of being unemployed and do what we can to fix it. I particularly liked your point about stopgap jobs. While they may not be the most attractive finds, they can sharpen skills, build our portfolios, and keep us humble. Plus, you never know what a stopgap job can lead to, such as a new opportunity. Great read!
