Job Search Pals Find Jobs Faster!
JOB SEARCH PALS FIND JOBS FASTER!
Most English speakers have heard the expression: "Two heads are
better than one". The saying rings ever more true with job
seekers.
Think of this. The lonely job seeker is attempting to find a job
by him/herself. The tedious job of filling out applications,
composing a good resume, answering ads and pounding the pavement
to find a job is enough to depress any lone job seeker.
However, teaming up with a buddy can work wonders. The pal you
find does not have to be looking for the same kind of job that
you are. The purpose for being pals is to:
1. Provide a measure of emotional support. 2. Pass on possible
job leads. 3. Shore up weaknesses, such as resume building. 4.
Combine research & resources. One person drives to an interview
with their pal, next time the pal drives. (Less chance of
nervous- ness & saves gas) 5. Provides a sense of perspective &
humor. (It's hard to be gloomy with a partner who needs you to
be upbeat). 6. Each person can serve as an analyst about what is
working well & what is not in the job search. 7. Pals can become
friends after one gets a job. (A good pal roots for you to stay
on the job).
