Consider Expanding Your Job Search Horizons


vacancies in Telecom and ICT
A recent online survey determined that approximately 60% of people who lost their jobs in the past year have found new jobs – almost all of which are fulltime positions.  Wondering what those hired did differently from the other 40% of job seekers still searching for employment?  Many of them considered opportunities that they might not have previously.  For example, 36% of those who succeeded in finding jobs were required to move to a new city or state, while 54% confirmed that they are working in an entirely new industry.  In addition, 45% of job seekers who found jobs admitted to accepting a reduced salary, compared to 33% who claimed their salaries are comparable to their former jobs and 27% who asserted they have higher salaries than before.  UN, Foreign Aid, NGO Jobs

So if you’re looking to get hired in the immediate future, consider becoming more open to opportunities outside of your initial scope.  You may be surprised by what you find.  If you’d prefer to hold out for a more specific opportunity, you can absolutely do so; just be prepared to remain patient and positive, as it may take you a little more time to land a job.   Identify and use resources to help you target relevant jobs, and don’t give up!
