Millions of job seekers have run into this wall every year, and millions of them have broken through it, too. So will you. Job-Hunt and Chandlee Bryan, Job-Hunt’s Expert in Job Search for New Grads<\/a> will help you address the issues and find strategies to deal with them.<\/p>\n The key thing for you to do now is to figure out what you really want to do – at least for the next 2 or 3 years. Your school should be able to help you with assessment tests and counselling, and you have the billions of pages of Internet content to help you with your research.<\/p>\n An unfocused job search — an I’ll-take-anything job search — is a tougher job search than a focused one, so learn that lesson now.<\/p>\n Expect that you will make several career transitions in your lifetime. The US Department of Labor estimates as many as 10 to 12 job changes in a lifetime. As she speed of technological change increases, the need for more more job transitions may increase too, in the future. So, get used to starting a new job.<\/p>\n If possible, find a way to enjoy the changes.<\/p>\n Online job search expert Susan P.
