3 Ways to Find Work in a Tough Economy
Note: The views expressed hereunder are not necessarily those supported by HR World Today.
Finding work in the current economic climate can be challenging, whether you are entry-level, or quite experienced in the workforce. It is an absolute must to think outside of the box in order to succeed in a job search. These five creative ways can help almost anyone find work in a tough economy.
1. Volunteer: Working for free may seem counter-intuitive; however, volunteering can oftentimes help you get a foot in the door. When a position becomes open, you will be a known and trusted entity versus merely one unknown name in a sea of resumes.
2. Start a new career: This could be the time to start doing what you always wanted to do but were always afraid to try. What is your undiscovered passion? Is there a career field that has always intrigued you? The time is right to pursue your passions and change careers.
3. Don’t just apply for advertised jobs: If there is a company that you have always wanted to work for, don’t discount them just because you don’t see any advertised job openings. Check out their website, as there could be positions listed on their Website that aren’t advertised elsewhere. Network with industry organizations, and let your professional and personal networks know that you are looking for a job and what kind. They may know of an unadvertised (or soon to be open) position that is perfect for you.
