The Wrong Way to Find Work

(From Adapting! What I Learned From Unemployment)


Any way you find work is okay. There is no wrong way to find work.

I have gotten jobs from networking, people recommending me, applying online, posted resumes, recruiters, company open house interviews, mailing resumes, creating special reports, applying in person, and becoming self employed.

My wife got jobs from going door to door dropping off resumes, applying for advertised positions and government jobs online. People get work sending value proposition letters.

Guerrilla Marketing expert Jay Levinson changed the rules of finding work by helping create small businesses. Social media get people eposure and work (and prevent others from getting hired). Writing books and public speaking are wonderful ways to be the expert employers need.

If there was a worst way, it would be only using one technique to hunt for jobs. Bugdet your time - call people, network, search for jobs online, research companies, find new projects, learn about other industries, write marketing materials, send them out, and make time to be with family and friends.

Remember rules are made to be broken. Use more than one way to find jobs.
