很多时候,我得知求职者正在网上申请。它’s the only way they’重新找工作,它’s the only way they’重新申请。因此,尽管年龄歧视是真实的,’公司可能没有’不知道他们的年龄,因为他们’我从来没有见过那个人’s application.
我知道公司会告诉求职者,“Apply online. 如果你’re a good fit we’ll call you.” It’只是不正确。当然,有时会发生奇迹。但它’s not the norm.
Think of it this way. 如果你 were hiring someone, how would you go about finding that person? Would you want to sort through 200 resumes that were submitted on the 在 ternet 通过 strangers? I bet that you would ask around. You’d询问您知道的人是否感兴趣,或者他们认识任何感兴趣的人。
But, this is where you might want to think twice. Do you work 在 the same field as your loved one? Are you located 在 the same city as your loved one? Has your last job search been recently? Have you looked for a job since online searching became the norm? 如果你r answers to these questions is no, you might want to hold off on giving any advice. It’您的处境可能与您所爱的人有所不同’s situation.
当你 reach out to help, the best place to start is 通过 asking, “How are you?” 如果你r loved one is comfortable, they will share more 在 formation. If they need advice, they will ask. Try not to start off with the question, “你找到工作了吗?”
一个问题是’大量申请工作的过程非常困难,因此很难进行真正的面试。当一家公司必须整理250份简历时,每个人’s chances go down.
所以,你可以做什么?好吧,首先,尝试应用您可以做的工作。一世’m not a fan of taking the requirements section too seriously. But, be sure you could actually complete the work before you apply. 如果你 know there’您很有可能无法完成工作,请跳过工作。专注于您知道可以做到的机会。
Apply on the company website. Also, look for ways to apply outside of the traditional online process. In other words, if you have found the hiring manager on 领英 , send them a message. 如果你 know someone 在 the company, send them an email. Don’不要以为只是因为你’重新获得资格,有人会看到您的在线申请。
There are a few things to consider when it comes to getting a new job. First, think about this. 当你 finished college, you would take any job, working anywhere, doing anything, for any amount of money. You had never worked before. You just needed something to put on your resume.
此外,如果有关搜索的任何异常情况,搜索可能需要更长的时间。例如,如果您’re job searching from a distance (if you want to relocate), it usually takes longer. 如果你 are switching 在 dustries, it may take longer. 如果你’重新切换作业功能,可能需要更长的时间。
Experts estimate that for every $10,000 you make, it should take approximately one month to find a job. In other words, if you make $40,000 per year, it should take about four months to find a job. 如果你 make $60,000 per year, that number jumps to six months.
如果您想在这段时间里记住一点’re struggling. It’s also a reason why having an emergency fund can be helpful, if you can build one up. 如果你 find yourself without a job, it may take time to find a new one.
