Peter Weddles Take on Executive and Professional Job Hunting, Realism, and Effort

Peter Weddles Take on Executive and Professional Job Hunting, Realism, and Effort Im absolutely enthralled by Peter Weddles newsletter today, in which he takes on the not-so-easy task of pointing out that a job search is really work. In Youre Only Kidding Yourself, he says that recent studies found that unemployed professionals were spending only minute amounts of time per day looking for workless than an hour per day, despite facing an uphill battle that demands plenty of time and resources. This, he says, is less time than most people spend watching TV or showering. Unbelievable! His major points were as follows: Whether the economy is in recession or firing on all cylinders, whether youre starting out in your career or have years of experience under your belt, whether youre a skilled tradesperson or a senior executive, looking for a decent employment opportunity is the hardest job you will ever have. It will take every bit of knowledge you can muster, every insight you can gain, every piece of wisdom you can acquire, and even then, it will take pluck, determination and plenty of hard work.
