7 Habits for Highly Unemployed People





Back in 2014, I underwent an unexpectedly brutal job search.
Over the course of 9 months, I applied for over 150 different jobs. The majority of these were positions I was well qualified — if not over-qualified — for.
After some preliminary screenings (phone interviews and online tests), I was invited to interview in person for a total of 9 of these jobs.
Of the 9, I was called back in for follow-up interviews for 3 of them.
When all was said and done, and despite my best efforts, I was offered none of them.

Out of desperation, I then signed up with a couple of agencies and secured a temp gig, which eventually (though not at all easily or straightforwardly) led to my being hired by the company where I had been temping.
Why do I share this story with you now?
I have been hearing similar stories coming from current job seekers who are at their wit’s end and understandably feeling quite demoralized.
Capable, intelligent, hard-working people not finding a place for themselves in the job market despite their competencies, prolonged efforts, and sincere desire to work.
