Jobs and CareersJalan Menuju Pekerjaan Baru
Para ahli dalam bidang karir ini memperkirakan bahwa banyak dari lowongan perkerjaan tidak diiklankan di media masa, termasuk pada situs penerima tenaga kerja yang ada, namun mereka sebarkan dari mulut ke mulut, atau dikenal juga dengan lewat jaringan yang tersembunyi. Peluang inilah yang dapat anda manfaatkan di sini.
Dengan adanya jaringan ini, artinya akan membangun jaringan anda secara pribadi dengan banyak pihak, yaitu dengan berkumpul dengan mereka yang berpotensi melalui jalur sosial dan jaringan fungsi bisnis. Tentu saja ini merupakan kelebihan anda dalam memanfaatkan jaringan ini. Untuk itu kembangkanlah jaringan anda melalui kontak pribadi dengan mereka, bertukar pikiran tentang keahlian dengan mereka.
Mereka mungkin saja dapat memberikan anda informasi tentang pekerjaan yang sedang dibuka, menawarkan saran dan informasi tentang berbagai perusahaan dan industri, atau bahkan mengenalkan anda kepada yang lainnya, sehingga anda dapat memanfaatkan dan mengembangkan jaringan ini.
Cara terbaik untuk memulainya adalah dengan membangun jaringan dengan lingkungan keluarga, kawan dan lingkungan anda. Jangan hanya berhenti di sini, bangun lagi jaringan anda dengan yang lainnya, dengan mereka yang seprofesi, kolega dalam industri yang sama, dan lakukan pertemuan dengan mereka melalui berbagai kegiatan lapangan seperti seminar, pameran, konferensi, ngopi bareng, atau dalam bentuk silaturahmi darat lainnya. Berbicaralah dengan mereka baik dengan pejabat di perusahaan, pimpinan, dan atau melalui para ahli lainnya.
Kunci keberhasilan dalam hal ini adalah menyediakan energi yang dibutuhkan sehingga keinginan anda terkabul. Pertama, anda lakukan terorganisir, misalnya dengan menyimpan kartu pengenal bisnis mereka atau menyimpannya ke dalam daftar kontak anda. Kedua, anda perlu melakukan kontak, misalnya dengan melakukan kontak secara regular, mengirimkan email, atau bahkan memberikan ucapan atas hari-hari besar mereka seperti ulang tahun, kegiatan keagamaan, dll. Ketiga, anda perlu mengatur target anda sendiri dengan mengaturnya, misalnya dengan mengontak 5 orang dalam seminggu.***

Job Hunting Tips
There is an old adage that "Looking for a job is harder than working." How true! The rigors of job search are magnified by the turmoil we experience: lack of self-confidence, humiliation, financial pressure, and the undercurrent of emotions that color all we do: fear, anger, depression, anxiety, loss.
One practical step we can take to lower the stress and conserve our energy for finding work, not feeding our bloated worries, is to manage our time effectively. Have you ever noticed that you get more chores done when you're busy? If time is limited, we squeeze in those extra demands because we know they have to get done by a deadline and we fear putting them off. When time is unlimited, such as when you take a few days off work, there is no pressure to rush-"I've got four days, I'll do it tomorrow." Suddenly, you are back at work and realize that you didn't accomplish half of what you had planned. This lack of structure is magnified when you are unemployed.
There is no pressure to get up, get dressed, get out of the house by a specific time. We know we have things to do. We need to update our resume, create some new cover letters, research some possible job openings. It is so hard to get started because we hate having to do it, we don't feel creative or excited about the whole prospect, and we dread having to go through the horrors of interviewing. We procrastinate, telling ourselves that when we are ready, it will just "flow." For a few hours, a few days, we'll just indulge ourselves and relax.
When the end of the month arrives and we compare our diminishing bank balance to our multiplying bills, we mentally beat ourselves up for not having accomplished what we had so earnestly intended. Now we generate our own pressure, magnified by guilt and self-reproach. Stress levels and blood pressure rise. We feel resentful, angry, depressed. "I didn't ask to get into this situation. It's unfair. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it." Adopting a reasonable schedule can avoid reaching this point.
Try these ideas:
1.Take a day to do nothing but plan out what you are going to do, and when.
2.Concentrate on not over-committing yourself. You may be used to working 8 or more hours per day and think that is what you will now spend on job search. Remember that adage: your hunt for work is a lot more difficult than simply walking into a familiar employer and pursuing your daily routine. Recognize that and limit your job hunting to fewer hours per day.
3.If you rigorously limit your job hunt-related activities to 4 hours per day to start (you can always increase later), you may find yourself forced to stop before you are ready. This creates the impetus to get you going the following day -- you can hardly wait to get back to what you are working on.
4.When your "work time" is over, stop. Consciously focus your attention on relaxing: take a walk, read a book, throw a ball, watch television, whatever pleases you. You will be able to relax because you know you completed exactly what you planned. The guilt, and the sense of "I should have, I should be" no longer exist and you are free, for a short time anyway, to do anything you want.
5.Identify your priorities by looking at what day of the week is best for each kind of activity. If you are searching the classifieds, Sunday is the premium time to do it. If you are networking or cold calling, concentrate on the morning weekday hours. Agency visits, whether for temporary work or head hunting, can be relegated to the afternoons when employers are difficult to reach and already fatigued.
6.Analyze your own daily energy patterns and put them to work for you. Make sure that during your high energy periods you are "out there," contacting people and presenting yourself. Use your low energy times for solitary, mundane tasks: researching companies and jobs, organizing your paperwork, planning your next day's activities.
The inevitable stress of unemployment and job search can never be totally eliminated, but managing your time and being gentle with yourself can turn a painful situation into simply an uncomfortable nuisance.***
