Week #5- What Color is Your Parachute?

In this weeks reading of What Color is Your Parachute I learned about job hunting. Job hunting never changes, well the essence of it doesn't change. Everyone has to go on a job hunt at least once in their life. It's something we cannot avoid. According to the book there is no right or wrong way to go on a job hunt. To be honest your going to fail countless amounts of times before you find the right job, but that is okay. It's a part of life. This book is here to guide us through this big scary world of "big boy or big girl" jobs. It's a trial and error process.

One thing we do need to realize is that job hunting is a job in itself. Looking for a job is a full time job LOL. People these days think that finding a job will happen fast. Hate to burst your bubble but that is not true what so ever. The job hunting process is not meant to be speedy. How good of a job can it be if everything happens so fast. Not only do you want to hunt for a job you like but you also want to do some research on it to make sure it is the right fit for you. Look into the places you are hiring. Ask your self if you could see yourself working in this kind of environment or if you could see yourself doing that job. If one of those things seems iffy keep searching. One thing I have learned so far is that job hunting is mysterious, it works in weird ways. So don't be upset if one of the jobs did not work out because the best job you've ever had could be right around he corner.
