Expert Job Search Advice From a Senior Recruiter and Certified Professional Resume Writer About Job Hunting and Assessment Strategies.

Los Angeles, CA, Aug 23, 2019 -- It's a hard truth: A recent study reported that the average duration of unemployment in the United States is 22.7 weeks. And according to an analysis by Market-Connections Resume Services, a major cause of this lengthy period is that most people are not aware of many services that are readily available to them and this can lead to underemployment, unemployment, or just plain lengthy job search periods.

The study was released on July 1st, 2019 and reports job opening rates in the United States as of June 2019, to be at 4.6%. "But there is plenty of hope for better outcomes; given all the available options, job seekers have access to many resources to find a job in less time." Commented Mandy Fard, Certified Professional Resume Writer and Founder of Market-Connections Resume Services. "Most people have never been taught how to find a new job. So, they do the things that they "think" they should do-applying for positions online, posting their résumé on job boards, and even creating a LinkedIn profile (even if they're not sure what to do with it). But when they don't get the results they want, they get frustrated."

Job seekers should treat their job search efforts as a project, with defined objectives, an action plan, and a timeline. It also helps to have a career coach or counselor as an accountability partner-someone who will support, encourage, and motivate the job seeker in their job search.
