With the increasingly severe employment situation, more and more people in the workplace have begun to fall into a long "window period". This also raises a very real question: "What should I do if I can't find a job for a long time?"”
If your goal is still to find a new job opportunity, be sure to do the following:
First, no matter how difficult it is, you should always refresh your resume information every day, and strive to keep your resume always active, so that once a new job opportunity arises, you can be discovered by the company earlier and faster. Don't slack off or give up on refreshing your resume just because you can't find a job opportunity
Second, in addition to the regular recruitment ** to refresh their resumes, we must consciously activate our network to see if there are opportunities for internal referral, and it is best to update information with these people on a half-month or one-month cycle, so that you can seize the opportunity as soon as it appears;
Third, try to search for department managers and heads of relevant positions in various companies on social platforms, and link to these people through social platforms, take the initiative, bravely recommend yourself, see if there is a potential demand on the part of the company, and also regularly update the information with these linked people, in order to get first-hand information.
If you can't find a job for a long time, and your mental state begins to gradually become anxious and uneasy, then it is best to do what you can. Here are a few things you must do:
First, read books. Take this opportunity to clear your book list.
Second, organize and summarize. You can systematically sort out and summarize your years of work experience and experience in the form of text, or make a short ** and share it on the online platform, so that you can not only have a strong sense of achievement, but also have a strong sense of gain and identity.
Third, do some part-time work. Try to find some part-time jobs that match your experience and skills, through part-time jobs, you can not only maintain a certain working state, but also quickly obtain a certain economic income, so as not to be anxious because of long-term lack of economic income.
Fourth, work and rest regularly and keep exercising. Regular work and rest can allow you to develop the habit of self-discipline, and insisting on exercising can keep your spirit in a sunny and positive form.
If you have accumulated enough industry experience and connections, then you can also consider using your network to carry out some short- and medium-term business cooperation while looking for new job opportunities. The advantage of this is that while looking for a job, you can fill your spare time, and bring yourself a certain amount of economic income, relieve your financial pressure, and if you have a very good project, after testing the water in the early stage, it can even be transformed into an entrepreneurial project, and then move towards the road of independent entrepreneurship.
If you have enough confidence or have a dream of starting a business, you might as well take advantage of the window period to realize it. The window period itself means that there is a lot of time and energy at your disposal, so this can be regarded as a rare entrepreneurial opportunity, or at least as a rare entrepreneurial research opportunity, through the window period to create this opportunity, you can carefully investigate the direction you want to start a business, evaluate the feasibility, if the feasibility is good, you can go to the road of entrepreneurship, if the feasibility is not good, at least you can do it in your heart.
Finally, I wish you all the best to find a satisfying job as soon as possible.
