The real costs of getting a job
Webmaster November 18th, 2007
Experience.com recently did a survey about the real costs of getting a job. According to Experience.com, the web has made looking for a job easier and less expensive than it once was. But the “real cost” of finding a job remains time. Some of the tangible costs respondents noted include:
- Interview-appropriate clothing (27%)
- Travel and lodging (24%)
- Research (19%)
Be prepared to spend time and money. That is the message that Experience.com survey is sending out to job seekers. However, this really only works for the passive job seeker. Active job seekers don’t have the luxury of time and money since they are actively looking for a job. Most active job seekers are only in the position to take the first job offer that comes along. Whereas passive job seekers can take their time, use the networking tools, such as Itzbig, the dynamic network for quality career connections, to find their next career opportunity. The passive job seeker has more time and money to research their prospective companies that are on their list which will result in a much more productive interview.
