17. Top 10 reasons for long job searches They don’t put enough time or effort into job hunting (less than 30 hours per week). They waste time on unproductive activities. They waste time using unproductive search strategies. They aren’t sure what type of work they are looking for. They only pursue announced job openings. copyright 2010 Career Ministries 6

18. Top 10 reasons for long job searches They don’t have a systematic approach to job search. They don’t have a target list of employers, or the list is too small. They have no way of measuring their progress. They underestimate the number of contacts needed to find work in today’s environment. They try to go through job search alone or without support. copyright 2010 Career Ministries 7

27. Kissane’s comments You may have lost your job; however, you didn't lose your membership in the human race. Remember we're the people GOD created. And God don’t create no junk! You're still the same person – with the same family and friends – you were when you were working. Being unemployed has nothing to do with being worthy of respect and love – including yours for you. There's absolutely nothing to be gained by ruminating over how you lost your job and what a great gig it was. copyright 2010 Career Ministries 13

28. Kissane’s comments Isolating because of feelings of guilt and shame will only makeyou feel more guilty and ashamed. Get out there! Holding a grudge will only make you bitter and beaten. Move on! Approach the challenge ahead with a spirit of renewal andself-improvement. Are you continuing to invest in YOU? View your circumstances as the journey toward discovering, orgreatly enhancing, the real you. copyright 2010 Career Ministries 14

29. Kissane’s Comments Celebrate your true victories – your faith, health, family,friends – as opposed to lamenting your defeats.

Quiet yourself so you can listen to Him. copyright 2010 Career Ministries 15
