At The Five O'Clock Club, we encourage job seekers to use a systematic approach to their job search, and to establish targets for potential positions. When establishing targets, the job seeker takes into consideration 3 components of the target:
- Industry or Organization size
- Job Function
- Geographic Area
Research shows that a successful search will be based on targeting 200 potential positions (not openings or companies), but pursuing 200 jobs that the job seeker might be able to do (even if that job is not vacant today). Many job seekers are frustrated by the lack of activity in their searches, and it may be due to the fact that they are not pursuing enough positions.
While the task of identifying 200 possible openings may be daunting, it is possible and can yield some very positive results. Brainstorming and research are essential during this process, and working with a coach may be helpful.
