The brutal truth is a job search is stressful, depressing and above all frustrating. No argument there. As time progresses, you’re sending resume after resume and all you hear is the sound of silence. I get it, so do employers – it isn’t easy to be a jobseeker in today’s market.Telling anyone who will listen about the problems in your job search is not going to help you though. When you start talking to a recruiter like this you can kiss your chances goodbye.

Let me give you an example:

I spoke to a guy the other day who had experienced some big challenges. He was made redundant, suddenly and without warning. This rattled him, understandably, but to his credit, he regrouped, tried to move past it and started looking for work. As the applications were sent and the phone wasn’t ringing, his frustration levels increased. A few weeks into his job search, he had a health scare which put him out of action for 2 months. When he commenced the search again he sent tonnes of applications and never made it past the occasional telephone screening. Because he wasn’t securing interviews and had just celebrated his 40^th birthday, he decided that employers were discriminating on his age, as well as on the fact he was made redundant.

When I first spoke to him he launched into a massive tirade about how he thought recruiters should be put out of business, how employers deserved what they got for not hiring him and then went on to verbally attack every aspect of his former employer’s business because they dared to make him redundant.

Once he had finished venting, I asked him who else he talked to about this. ‘Everyone,’ he said, ‘you all need to know what is going on out there.'
