Job searching is like growing a plant - keep watering it regularly and it will blossom! What does that mean for the job seeker? The answer is that job searching is a continuous process that needs to be regularly attended to over a period of time. The analogy of watering plants applies to job searching very well because you need to be able to adapt and adjust your job searching strategy by doing it regularly so that you can see what works for you and what does not. Certain job search strategies will not be as effective as others depending on your career choice and level of experience. If you are new to your career field, networking with former colleagues will not work well because your network is not large enough yet. In such cases you might want to turn to the assistance that a staffing agent or a headhunter can provide. For more experienced workers, job search techniques need to take a more holistic approach, with a mix of personal networking efforts combined with a carefully crafted job matching plan created by your favorite staffing professional. The key to job search success is to keep at it and not to give up until you get the job offer you want!
