Five Essential Parts to Survival Job

Five Essential Parts to Survival Job-Hunting
Decade 2011 – 2020
Most people use very elementary job-hunting skills: writing a resume, search for vacancies on the internet, and interviewing.
These are necessary to do well. They are foundational and may work well when times are good for job seekers. But when times are not good or you want something out of the ordinary, these elementary methods no longer work. These methods turn up nothing in spite of the fact that there are always millions of job vacancies every month.
To survive and thrive in tough times, you need advanced job hunting skills. It is necessary to master them in practice and in our own life. They are necessary to guarantee our survival, economically, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Survival job hunting has five parts.
Sometimes the thing that holds us back is that we are approaching the situation with the wrong attitudes. So the first part is the work on our:
1.Attitudes. Attitude is everything. Periodically, attitudes need to be
re-examined and rethought. The following attitudes are necessary
for survival.
a.Learn that what got you here, won’t (will not) necessarily get
you there.
b.Learn to focus on what is within your power, not what is not.
c.Learn to seek alternatives for everything you do.
d.Learn to pay more attention to the world around you and the
world within you.
e.Learn to be inventive in every day tasks.
f.Learn to seek out a supportive community while job hunting or
any other difficult situation that you find yourself in.
g.Learn that there is meaning to everything.
2.Advanced Job –Finding Techniques. We must move beyond
relying on resumes, job postings, agencies and the Internet. If those avenues turn up nothing, we must move on. There are always
millions of job vacancies our there. Perhaps there are no jobs in our specialty or at the salary we need or in the geographic area we want, but we need to first make sure of that before moving on the next step.
3.Advanced job=creation techniques. So suppose we cannot find job
vacancies in our area or specialty, then what? Then we must learn how to create jobs --- we learn how to found our own business or we learn how to speed up the job-creation process of an employer. We must learn how to make a career change, when we are puzzled about where to go from here with our life --- (we might hate our current job, we might be bored and want to do something new and different with our lives, or we may want to find some deeper sense of mission or pupose for our life.
When we create work for ourselves, we often also create work for others.
4.Self-Inventory. Sometimes we do not realize all the richness of
what we have to offer the World. We must go back and inventory what transferable skills, what knowledges, what experience, and
what values we have to offer. The purpose of this research is to
discover alternative ways of describing who you are. You are more than your job title……you cannot restrict yourself to that. The
correct way to say this ---- don’t say, “I am a teacher” but say “ I am a person who …”. Maybe, you will decide a new career you can
put together or you may want to get training for something a new career while still working at your old one.
The first step is to Inventory what you already have -- It is broader, deeper and richer than you think……
5.Each one teach one. There are not enough teachers of this material.
We need to learn it in high school. But the fastest way to spread the word is for each one to teach one --- this is a survival skill, we all need it. Please do not let the people around you suffer in this new economy -- is is our responsibility to share with those around us.。
