What to do When Your
Job Search Isn’t Working
BY KAREN WALCOTT
LEAD CAREER CONSULTANT, ROCK YOUR RESUME
Not Getting Interviews? Re-Examine Your Résumé
 A professionally written résumé is ideally suited for one particular job
target. This may be a specific job title (“administrative assistant”) or several
jobs that are similarly suited — for example, senior accountant/finance
manager/chief financial officer. If you’re not getting calls for interviews,
your résumé may be the issue.

What to do When Your Job Search Isn’t Working
Take a look at your résumé:
 If your résumé was professionally written, have you changed the wording from
the original version? Did you change anything on the recommendation of a
friend or colleague? Did you “water down” the language by adding or
removing information?
 Did you give the résumé writer the strongest examples of your
accomplishments — and quantify them with numbers, percentages, and
dollars (whenever possible)?
 Are you using the résumé to apply for different positions than it was originally
intended? (For example, if the résumé was developed to pursue a teaching
position but you’re using it to apply for a job at a nonprofit.)
 If you wrote the résumé yourself — or had a friend or relative write it —
consider having it reviewed by a professional résumé writer who can give
you objective advice about whether it meets today’s standards for an
interview-ready résumé. The process of having your résumé written by a
professional résumé writer can be eye-opening. Most résumé writers will
work with you to identify your “personal brand” (what makes you unique
as a jobseeker) and collect strong accomplishments that will help define
how you can be an asset to your next employer as part of the résumé
development process.
What to do When Your Job Search Isn’t Working
If it’s not the résumé or job target, it may be your job search tactics. One definition
of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different
results.”
 How are you using the résumé? Are you getting it in the hands of a hiring
decision-maker for the type of job you want?
 Are you spending enough time on your job search? If you’re not working,
commit yourself to a minimum of 40 hours per week devoted to your job
search. If you are working, devote at least 20 hours each week to finding a
new job.
 Work smarter, not harder. If you’re applying for 20 jobs online, you may think
that you need to apply for 40 jobs. Instead, re-examine how you’re finding out
about and applying for positions.
