We have to know how to job-hunt before we get in trouble, or find ourselves being made redundant, as the expression has it. If you re having trouble finding a job, keep searching, because finding a job takes time. One study found that a number of job-seekers couldn t find a job because they abandoned their job search after one or two months. I think people adopt unrealistic guestimates about how long their job hunt is going to take. But no one has been able to substantiate that.
Nobody even knows where that statistic came from.
We should expect that our job-hunt may take months, but if we persevere, we will find a job. We are now enjoying the longest peacetime expansion of the economy that has been recorded in modern times.
