What it means to be a job seeker

  • Being a job seeker is a full-time job, but often a 24 hour job.

  • It is hard to keep your efforts and motivation up in an unpredictable process

    • Efforts are often unrewarding
      • Putting effort into an application where you don’t even get an interview.
      • Structure is hard to set up without top-down purpose.
  • Being a job seeker means change and a new structure in your everyday life

  • Longer period of unpredictable change takes a toll on your personal feeling of mastery and self worth.

  • As a job seeker your job is to become an expert in your own competency

    • A process where you are the most vulnerable you are asked to be at your most confident
  • Physical and mental ailments

    • 24h brooding is a downward spiral
    • Always clocked in can be physically and mentally draining over time
  • Your future is dependent on the available jobs in the market.
