Finding Jobs by Conducting Research

Job offers do not find candidates, candidates find job offers. A typical job search may take six months and include numerous applications per week, with many interviews and rejections. Applicants should not take rejections personally.  A rejection is not a statement that the candidate has bad skills or qualifications.  A rejection is simply an indication that there was not a match between the job and the candidate's skills and experience. 

The good news is that there is not just 'one perfect job,' there are many appropriate opportunities for each job seeker.  The challenge is finding the jobs that make excellent matches for the candidate.  A variety of research and identification methods are available to job seekers. The smart and determined job seeker uses them all.
