3 signs it’s time to take a break from your job
search — for now
Anyone who’s ever had to look for a job will
tell you it’s hard work. Between the emotional ups and downs that come with
finding your potential dream job, to the possibility of rejection, to the
elbow-grease you put in researching a company, to crafting the perfect cover
letter and resume: it’s a lot.
So it’s not surprising that many of us start to
feel a bit burnt out after an extended search. Yet for most, putting the kibosh
on your search just doesn’t seem like an option. Fear of missed opportunities
or loss of momentum can keep you searching, when really you should be taking a
break.
Although your work ethic may be telling you to
soldier through, trust me when I tell you that continuing your job search when
you’re burnt out can cause more harm than good.
Check out these three warning signs you need to
take a break from your job search.
You have to convince yourself you should apply
By itself, this probably isn’t enough to
completely halt your search, but it’s definitely a red flag that you might be getting
a little weary with your job hunting.
While it’s true not every job description is
guaranteed to make you feel like you’ve found “the one,” you should feel at
least some excitement about the opportunity. Also, don’t think for a second a
hiring manager won’t see right through your feigned excitement.
So, pay attention to your “excite-o-meter” the
next time you come across a new job opportunity. If you’re on the low end of
the scale, seriously consider your burnout status before you apply.
You don’t read the entire job description — at
least twice
One of the biggest complaints I hear from hiring
managers is that applicants haven’t taken the time to really dig in to the
requirements of the job — not only to see if they can handle the work, but also
so they can ask intelligent questions in an interview. As a result, they come
across as uninterested and uninvested. Not exactly how you’d want to present
yourself if you’re excited about an opportunity, right?
If you find yourself barely skimming over a job
description before you submit an application, take your cursor off that send
button! If you can’t bring yourself to comb through a job description
carefully, there’s a good chance you need a break from the hunt.
You don’t check your work
Have you ever submitted an application, then
immediately realized a nanosecond too late that you misspelled the hiring
manager’s name? Or forgot to attach your resume? Ouch.
Usually, it just takes one oversight to remind
you to double check the details before submitting an application. So, if you’re
noticing you’re slacking a bit in the detail obsession department, it might be
a sign you’re ready for a break.
If you start to slack on the details, I
guarantee hiring managers will notice. And, while we all make mistakes, this is
one time you’re not likely to get a second chance to make that first
impression.
If digging in to the details for every
application starts to look like a corner to cut, it’s time to shut down your
search for a bit.
Recognizing you need a break from your job
search can be a little scary. Taking time off from your hunt can feel a lot
like you’re giving up, or worse, losing out. But trust me when I tell you,
giving yourself just a little bit of a break — even just a few days — will put
you into a far better position to show your true talents, get refreshed and
excited, and land the job you really want and deserve.
