As 2014 winds down and you look forward
to 2015, perhaps it is time for job seekers to evaluate 2014 and prepare for
2015. If your job search has been
unsuccessful in 2014, you should evaluate your progress in finding employment.
What activities seem to produce quality
job leads and what activities have yielded nothing? If you have been rejected for a job for which
you were qualified, what happened? Were
there better candidates or perhaps you received no feedback.
In order to prepare for job seeking in
2015, what steps should you take? Here
are some suggestions:
1. Maintain a positive attitude and high energy level.
2. Research possible job postings that meet your qualifications
3. Reach-out to all members on your contact list by sending greeting
cards, telephone calls, or emails
4. Prepare a job search action plan for January 2015 including specific
companies to contact and meetings to attend.
5. Attend job fairs and network with attendees as well as hiring
companies
6. Seek counseling from a respected individual in your church or civic
organization
As our economy picks-up speed, 2015 is
the time to retool all your efforts to become employed.
I encourage readers of this blog to provide suggestions to the
unemployed by posting on this bIog or emailing at mailto:glynjordan@gmail.com.
Thanks!
Glyn
