3 Ways To Speed Up Your Job Search

The job search process can be long and frustrating, so much so that some people will stay in jobs that they’re unhappy with, just to avoid the process of finding another job

This frustrates me as a career coach! I want to see people grow their careers and become the best versions of themselves, not settle because they’re afraid of taking part in a time consuming process and the threat of rejection.

I want people to understand that while the job search process isn’t easy, there are ways to make it rewarding and efficient. It’s all about conducting a BETTER job search.

Focus On The 3 C’s

As a career coach and founder of Work It Daily, the #1 career growth site on the internet, I’ve had the opportunity to work with thousands of job seekers and assist them in landing their next career opportunity.

Of the job seekers who landed their jobs the quickest, they had the following in common: They all utilized the 3 C’s to improve the effectiveness of their job search. The 3 C’s are as follows.

Content

There is so much online job search information available on the internet (i.e., video tutorials, online quizzes, blogs, etc.), to help job seekers prepare a job search plan and find a job efficiently. We offer a lot of this stuff for FREE at Work It Daily.

The job search process is constantly evolving, so it’s important to keep up with what the best practices are. In addition, it’s not like school teaches us how to find a job, so it’s incumbent on the individual to educate themselves.

Educating yourself about the proper way to find a job will reduce your job search time.

For example, past Work It Daily analysis indicated that those who had the most success in our platform used a step-by-step process to find a job, completed each step in order, and with a sense of urgency.

Coaching

Athletes have coaches that help to get the best results out of them. Job seekers deserve the same luxury, especially since the job search process feels like a sports competition sometimes.

Coaches won’t do all the work for you, you must put in the effort for yourself. However, coaches will help to empower you and guide you through the job search process. Why wouldn’t you want to leverage a coach’s feedback, support, guidance and motivation, for job search success?

In the Work It Daily platform our career coaches host live Q&A sessions to address the career-related questions of our members, and coaches will also record videos for individual members to answer their questions.

Community

We all need some positive reinforcement from time to time, especially from people going through similar life experiences. That’s why I can’t stress enough the importance of surrounding yourself with a group of like-minded, positive people who are also going through the job search process.

You can learn new things by listening to other people’s job search experiences and exchanging ideas. In addition, it’s always nice to have someone cheer you on, and gain inspiration from during the job search.

The Work It Daily platform offers multiple networking opportunities for its members, and members have told us that the support system has not only helped their job searches, but has also helped them get back on track following a setback or disappointment.

Conclusion: Don’t Go At The Job Search Alone

Don’t be afraid to admit that you don’t have all the answers, it’s OK to ask for help. In fact, asking for help is a sign of strength. Taking all the responsibility of finding a new job on yourself, will only increase your frustration and drag out the job search process.

You do have to put the work in if you want to have a successful job search, but with the 3 C’s (content, coaching, and community), the process will go by much quicker, and will be a lot less stressful.
