How To Get Out Of The Rut In Your Job Search

PRLog - Jul. 26, 2011 - Looking for a job after being involuntarily let go from a position is difficult under any circumstances. In today's economy — with a national unemployment rate that recently topped 8 per cent — a job search can be prolonged, and the effects can be even more pronounced on your day to day life.

"It's a big challenge to your capacity to adapt, just like a prolonged illness is a challenge and causes stress on you and your family," said Simon Hudson from Personal Career Solutions, a consultancy focused on giving career advice to existing mid to senior level executives.

When a person loses a job, he or she is likely to experience anger, stress, and feelings of anxiety and depression. Left unchecked, these feelings can become detrimental, hindering their ability to search effectively for a new job.

In short, our natural responses may work against us.

Setting expectations is key to maintaining a sense of hope. Personal Career Solutions are focused on key points to get you back into work. They offer several ways of pin-pointing specific career planning advice that cater to you. Through a personal one on one meeting with your own consultant you will soon find yourself back into work.
“I heard the good news today that I had been offered the post. As you can imagine I am delighted with this outcome. The interview training and advice over the last few months had a significant impact.”
Alastair McDonald – Project Manager – who benefited from career advice.
