Job searches are tough, they test your willpower, resolve and they can actually make or break your confidence. Unfortunately luck is not on everybody’s side, and an individual can send off more than 100 CV’s and still get no response from a potential employer.
It’s important to make sure this doesn’t get the better of you, and we all know how tough the battle is out there in the job hunt. Broadening your job search can increase your opportunities, and you can do this by tweaking the job title you’re searching for.
They say desperate times call for desperate measures, and if you are getting fed up, searching for different job positions can help. Of course you don’t have to drastically change your job search. For example, if you are looking for a job as a photographer, perhaps tweak your search on occasions to photo assistant, photography assistant or photojournalist.
The responsibilities in each job are likely to change, and its small job search adjustments like this that can potentially improve your response rate, and help you gain a job in the field you desire.
