Change of job hunting plans

You may be doing all the right things that go with finding a job, such as networking, researching companies, keeping your resume up to date and other things that every seems to do when they are facing unemployment, but with all that you still don’t have a job. It’s understandable what with the economy the way it is, and if you over fifty and unemployed it probably is even worse. Do you keep the faith and continue down the path you are on or do you veer off into unknown territory and take a chance. The answer isn’t as easy as you think.


If something doesn’t work why continue to do it. If you were on a diet for 6 months and haven’t lost a pound than you would certainly change your diet (unless you sneaking food on the side!). But with job hunting things aren’t that cut and dry. Your search or your hunt for work is for one thing and that is a job. Unlike dieting and exercise you wouldn’t see a gradual improvement in your employment situation, you either have a job or you don’t. There are things especially in this economy that you have no control over such as high unemployment. It could be that what you are doing is the best approach to finding something. Of course that isn’t to say that you shouldn’t consider changing things around a bit, because no system is perfect.

Good luck and keep trying.
