In your job hunt, sometimes it won't work out. However, you just got stay focused and stay positive. There is too much time spend on feeling bad for ourselves. What we need to do is find some resources and make its work for you. Richard Bolles says "Never give up," when you are hunting for a job in his book, What Color is your Parachute? 2016.

There are different way to go about the job hunt. When you are hunting and things are not working, we need to be critical and focus on our weakness and see if we can change things up to make it better. The traditional way to hunt for jobs is find a company, do some research, submit a resume. and go through the companies normal interviewing process. This can work out perfectly for some. However, we should be aware of the different options that we have to make this process more fluent.

Bolles talks about "The Parachute Way" to hunt for a job and the differences from the traditional way of job hunting. The "Parachute Way" looks at job hunting in a different perspective. Instead, of job we are looking for our dream job. We are not simply "job beggars" instead, we are resources looking to provide a benefit to someone. This is changing our thinking, We do not settle for less. We want find exactly what we are looking for. More way we can utilize "The Parachute Way," we can do our research on the company and ourselves to find out what we would really like. Then other processes come along, and as we move forward we want to approach the employer and instead of submitting a resume  we should try to find someone who know you and the employers. This is a bridge person, like a reference. Other key things involved in "The Parachute Way" include the interviewing process. We want to get the interview with them, then once we do this we should discuss ourselves and make sure you find out the information that you would like to know. You should find out if they want you and if you want them as employers. With that said, we will be asked questions, but you should ask questions to the employers about 50% percent of the time. Make sure you sell yourself as an asset and at the end of the process send a thank you note and follow up with the company.


Now if you are struggling to find places to look for jobs, I will give you some references to use that i have gathered from Bolles in his book. Check out postings on the internet, posting resumes and mailing them, answering local newspaper adds, yellow pages/phone book, employment agencys, jobs club, and asking for job leads. These can provide you with plenty of information and be used potentially to get a job.
