No matter which approach you take, <strong>you should spend as much time searching for a job as you would working a full-time job.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Traditional Approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The traditional approach involves searching the job market to find a job<\/strong> by using one, some, or all of the following ten techniques. They\u2019re listed in order of worst to best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Search for job postings online. <\/strong>This works 4% of the time in most fields. In finance, health care, engineering, or tech, it\u2019s around 10%.<\/li><li><strong>Send your resume to employers. <\/strong>This works 7% of the time.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Get help from an employment agency.<\/strong> This works between 5-28% of the time, depending on the quality of the agency.<\/li><li><strong>Respond to ads in trade or professional publications in your industry.<\/strong> This works 7% of the time.<\/li><li><strong>Join a job-search support group.<\/strong> This works 10% of the time, but these groups have value beyond helping you find a job\u2060\u2014they provide emotional support.<\/li><li><strong>Go to a government employment office.<\/strong> This works 14% of the time.<\/li><li><strong>Go to union hiring halls or other locations where employers look for temporary help<\/strong>. This works 22% of the time.<\/li><li><strong>Ask people you know about job leads. <\/strong>This works 33% of the time. Interestingly, you\u2019re more likely to get a job through an acquaintance than a close friend. This is because you and your close friends know the same people and probably have the same information. An acquaintance, on the other hand, knows people you don\u2019t and might work in a different field.<\/li><li><strong>Physically go to an office\/factory. <\/strong>Visit an employer\u2019s place of business and ask if they\u2019re looking for anyone. This approach works best with companies that have fewer than 25 employees. This works 47% of the time.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(Note: the author writes that the figures and stats above are derived from a mix of studies and his own impressions.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for something more temporary, you can join the gig economy. <\/strong>List your house on Airbnb, drive for Uber or Lyft, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Parachute Colors Approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the traditional approach, which starts by studying the job market<strong>, the parachute approach begins with studying yourself (via your flower diagram).<\/strong> If you\u2019re starting with the job market, the best you can hope for is to confine yourself to an existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/job-role-vs-job-description\/\">job description<\/a>. The parachute approach helps you find a job where you can truly be yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advantages of the Parachute Approach<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The parachute colors approach has several advantages over the traditional method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It works 86% of the time, which is 12 times better than your chances of getting a job if you just send out a resume.&nbsp;<\/li><li>It leads to you finding your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-dream-job\/\">dream job<\/a>, rather than just any job.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It\u2019s motivating because the payoff isn\u2019t just a job, it\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/love-your-job\/\">job you love<\/a>. Persistence is very important to the job-searching process, and you\u2019ll be more persistent if you\u2019re motivated.<\/li><li>It\u2019s fun because you get to imagine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-manifest-your-dream-life\/\">your dream life<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li><li>It teaches you to describe yourself in different ways, which allows you to enter multiple job markets. The self-inventorying you did in the flower exercise involves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-you-see-yourself\/\">changing your identity<\/a> from a person who has a job (you\u2019re a teacher) to a person who has experience and skills. Retraining would only prepare you for one market.<\/li><li>It allows you to specifically and effectively communicate what kind of a job you want while networking.<\/li><li>It allows you to rise to the top of the competition. You\u2019ll be able to articulately describe yourself and your skills and traits.<\/li><li>It allows you to approach companies even if they haven\u2019t posted a job. Often, in the back of their minds, employers want to hire someone but haven\u2019t found the time to start the process. When they encounter a conveniently skilled person such as yourself, they might create a job for you.<\/li><li>It allows you to solidify your desire for a career change. You might have been reluctant to change careers because you thought you had to retrain, but the flower exercise probably revealed that several of your skills are transferable. If you do need more training, you might be able to learn enough on your own or do a short-term program such as a technical\/vocational school.<\/li><li>It allows you to recognize unemployment as an opportunity to reflect on your life. Self-inventorying is full of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-self-reflect\/\">self-reflection<\/a>.<\/li><li>It will force you to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-meditation-mindfulness\/\">mindfulness<\/a>, which will improve your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/methods-of-decision-making-crucial-conversations\/\">decision-making<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the parachute colors in What Color Is Your Parachute?
