When a person becomes unemployed, the search begins for a job they can find related to their field of experience.
As desperation ensues many people start to look at fast food and factory work as an option.
They will apply to as many as possible, hoping for a job.
This happens too when a person has a college degree but can't find a job.
It gets even more serious when money is dwindling and there is still no job to get excited about.
The longer the unemployment, the more stress sets in.
The person is searching in the local newspaper or even on the Internet through hundreds of job listings.
With so many to sift through and so many to apply, should you apply for all in your area? Many people, when desperate enough, do this practice.
But is this really the best thing to do? Before sending off your resume, there are several factors that need to be taken into account.
1.
Work related experience, education and training One of the first and foremost important of all other tips is making sure that any job you apply for has a common theme with your background.
Basically, it boils down to the type of degree a person is holding onto.
If a person has an English degree, they shouldn't be applying as a nurse to pay the bills.
These two jobs have no common similarities.
Making a list of jobs interested in and in the general area.
Important: Try to remember that when you apply for all open positions in the immediate area, it doesn't mean you are qualified for some of them.
2.
Location of said positions.
If a person is content where they are living, a local newspaper would be more helpful in the job search.
Again, unless you don't mind commuting, it's best to remain searching locally or in the immediate area.
Unless a person doesn't mind relocating, then Internet searches will and do work.
With the Internet boom, tons of career orientated search websites have become available.
One of the most important tips is never take an interview when they know relocation is not an option.
3.
How badly do you need a job.
If a person is in dire straights and unable to receive unemployment benefits, it might be wise to increase the job search applications.
This is especially true if the bills seem to be piling up or the family is in need of support.
Submit applications to jobs that you are only qualified to do.
4.
Repeatedly bombarding a company with applications People should not constantly barrage a company with applications especially those that they are not qualified to do.
This leaves a lasting impression that can reflect upon a person poorly.
It is harmful to the person's reputation and their good name.
This can be especially true for those jobs a person is not qualified for in the first place.
A person's best judgment should always be used when considering how many jobs to apply for.
With the points mentioned above, one can determine if applying for too many or too little will help in the long run.
