1) Hire a Career Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not just any career coach, hire a career coach who has helped people like yourself return to earning a living in the recent past<\/strong>.\u00a0 Look for someone with a website that talks about your particular issues, such as: no experience, over 50, physical or emotional limitations, \u2018overqualified\u2019, etc.\u00a0 Ask them to tell you about some of their recent successes.\u00a0 You should feel confident or at least very hopeful that this particular career coach can help you based on who they have helped previously.\u00a0 If possible, talk to more than one career coach on the phone to see if you click and choose the one who you believe will help you the most<\/strong>.\u00a0 Yes, this is your turn to be the one having a job interview and selecting who is right for the job of matching you up with an employment opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no money to hire a career coach,\u201d you say.<\/p>\n

If you were gravely ill, would you go to a doctor?\u00a0 If your hopes of being employed soon are on life-support than it is time to get some expert counsel.\u00a0 How would you pay for the doctor?\u00a0 Hmm\u2026 This makes me think we could use the equivalent of Medicaid for employment.\u00a0 One non-profit option offering career coaching to those \u201cwho need it most but can afford it least\u201d is Caerus Connect. Another is Skillful<\/a>, a non-profit organization in Colorado and Indiana that works to bridge the gap between the skillset of people looking for work and job openings.<\/p>\n

A low-cost option is <\/strong>WorkItDaily.com<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 At the time of this writing, WorkItDaily offered an unlimited access to their resources including ability to get feedback, for $29 a month.\u00a0 You could learn a lot in a month.<\/p>\n

2) Invest Time in a Recent Job Search Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

A second option in revamping your job search is to invest time in a job search book written in recent years.\u00a0 I say invest time because job search books will do nothing if you only read them.\u00a0 Any worthwhile job search book will contain exercises to help you recognize your own skills and strengths as well as actionable job search strategies.<\/p>\n

Three books worth considering are:<\/p>\n

What Color Is My Parachute?\u00a0 2019: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0by Richard N. Bolles \u2013 Begins by acknowledging that looking for work has changed dramatically in recent years.\u00a0 Emphasizes that what is key is understanding what you offer a perspective employer that everyone else does not.\u00a0 Book contains lengthy self-assessment section designed to pinpoint the reader\u2019s unique talents and interests and admonishes, \u201cYou were put here on Earth for a reason. You need to find it. These are the steps.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2-Hour Job Search: Using Technology to Get the Right Job Faster<\/strong><\/a> by Steve Dalton \u2013 published in 2012 and likely to take you 2 days or 2 weeks instead of 2 hours to see results, nonetheless this book is worth considering.\u00a0 Readers comment that it\u2019s easy-to-follow steps boost confidence and one recent (late 2018) reviewer said the book\u2019s advice led to a good job offer.<\/p>\n

Introverts: Leverage Your Strengths for an Effective Job Search<\/strong><\/a> by Gabriela Casineanu, a coach who has helped more than 1200 job seekers and people looking to advance in their careers.\u00a0 Includes real stories of successful job seekers who used Casineanu\u2019s recommended strategies.<\/p>\n

3) Get a Gig (or Lots of Them)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Third option: Switch your focus from getting a job to getting a gig.\u00a0 A gig is a one-time event that you get paid for.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t have to be anything you\u2019d want to do again.\u00a0 The person hiring you doesn\u2019t have to be sure they want to work with you beyond just a single gig.\u00a0 A gig is a good way to bring in some income and a good way to feel that once again you are a contributing member of society<\/strong>.\u00a0 There are freelance websites where you can bid on gigs, or there is Fiverr, where you predefine a service gig and people choose it in the same manner as they choose an item to drop into their shopping cart.<\/p>\n

One of the great things about Fiverr.com is it makes you realize that everyone has a skill that they could offer.\u00a0 Record yourself reading a document supplied.\u00a0 Correct punctuation (for the English teacher or copy editor).\u00a0 Able to edit images?\u00a0 Able to do research?\u00a0 You can write up a gig and be in business in a single afternoon.<\/p>\n

\"writing\"<\/p>\n

Another common gig is driving Lyft or Uber<\/strong>.\u00a0 Yes, you have to have a car and like driving, but if you do, there are many side benefits to driving, such as the possibility of new connections, getting yourself out of the house and learning of other opportunities.\u00a0 One job searcher told me that she drove to some distant job interviews, then picked up some Lyft business on her way home to offset the cost of going to the interview.<\/p>\n

Or go low-tech and write up a flyer saying you are between jobs and willing to do odd errands for your neighbors, anything from daycare to signing for packages to walking their dogs or house-sitting<\/strong>.\u00a0 You can set your rates ahead of time or tell folks to pay you what they feel is fair.\u00a0 This low-tech option will get you out of the house and can be a form of casual networking.\u00a0 Meet more people and earn money, win-win.\u00a0 I recommend you put your photo on the page to help them connect your name and face and give them a bit more confidence about who is reaching out.<\/p>\n

4) Find or Create a Job Search Group<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another option to consider is finding or starting a group for job searchers.\u00a0 John Fugazzie did just that with Neighbors Helping Neighbors in January 2011.\u00a0 The group started meeting in a library with the idea of participants sharing useful tips they had found about finding a job.\u00a0 It started small, often with only 4 or 5 participants, but the idea has continued to grow and spread to multiple locations.<\/p>\n

A typical meeting could begin with participants giving their \u2018elevator speech,’ a condensed version of who they are and the type of job position they are hoping to find.\u00a0 In Neighbors Helping Neighbors, the running of the weekly meeting is a rotating responsibility. This helps ensure the group covers topics that interest everyone and also builds leadership skills and confidence among participants.<\/p>\n

Shared knowledge, expanded networking, emotional support and accountability are potential benefits of job search groups<\/strong>.\u00a0 With isolation being one of the hardest aspects of being out of work, turning your job search from a solitary endeavor into a team one is worth considering. Neighbors Helping Neighbors has information about starting new groups at: http:\/\/nhnusa.org\/facilitator-center.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5) Start a Business<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather than just continuing to search for jobs, you might also consider creating a job or business for yourself.\u00a0 This is what Monica Carter did when she \u2018Hired Herself\u2019 a few weeks before her unemployment benefits would have run out and started a freelance writing business.\u00a0 Carter found setting a regular work schedule for herself gave her an immediate sense of accomplishment and increased self-worth<\/strong>.\u00a0 Carter used an online course to guide her through setting up the DBA, a website and writing portfolio.\u00a0 The end result, Sensible Graffiti, soon began netting her jobs to pay her bills and eventually led to a part-time job that she is using to recoup the savings she burned through while out of work.<\/p>\n

Linda Clay estimated she applied for over 100 jobs during a ten-month period and after receiving zero, yes zero,<\/em> requests for a job interview, she started an online business consultancy\/VA business.\u00a0 She later transitioned out of that business and began working as a coach, but she credits the VA business to both paying some bills and helping her find the right fit for her skills and passions.<\/p>\n

Some businesses can be started with very minimal investment<\/strong>, The $100 Startup<\/a> is full of examples where people have started all kinds of businesses with little or no money upfront.\u00a0 And it is possible, even in a down economy to find an investor for a new venture.\u00a0 Marla Wynne began designing and producing a line of women\u2019s clothing during the 2008 recession. Wynne recalls, \u201cI didn’t set out, oh, I want to be a designer. I set out thinking, my kids want to eat and go to college. I better figure this out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not sure whether your business idea will work?\u00a0 No one can predict success, but you can be sure that even if your business struggles and produces little income, you will<\/p>\n

– learn new skills<\/p>\n

– impress the next person who calls you for a job with your ambition<\/p>\n

– be viewed as an entrepreneur rather than someone who has been out of work and unable to find a job.<\/p>\n

And there is the very real possibility of creating a business that pays your bills, interests you, employs others, and has a positive effect on the world.<\/p>\n
