Looking for a job

Here is a talk between two acquaintances:

A: So, Bruce, when you lost your job, how long did you take to find another job? B: Well, not too long compared with some people. Just six months. I remember that I sent 700 resumes.

A: Seven hundred job applications in six months. That's incredible!

B: Well, it's only about four a day.

A: Maybe, but that's a lot of paperwork...

S: Well, I guess so.

A: And what was your job before that?

B: Well, you see, I worked as a policeman in the early 1990. Then I worked as National Sales Manager with Excel. But the company closed because of heavy com­petition and I lost the job.

A: And where are you working now?

В: I’ve got a job in Rochester Telephone. I'm in the Mar­keting Department. I develop new markets for phone services.

A: How long have you been working there now?

B: Just two months. It's great to be employed again!

A: Bruce, and what advice would you give to someone who is looking for a job?

B: Well, firstly — attack the problem immediately. Don't go on a long holiday — it won't help you to find a job. A: It's just wasting time.

B: That's right. Secondly, work, work, work on looking for a job. Before you lost your job, you did a 40-hour week, so why not now?

A: So work full-time on your job applications.

B: Yes, but at the same time — relax occasionally. Go to the beach, have lunch with friends, go to the gym — you need a break from time to time, even when you are unemployed.

A: Useful advice. Any more?

B: Yes. It's nice to meet people who are in the same situa­tion as you – other unemployed people. You realize you are not the only unemployed person in town, and you can give each other some good ideas.

A: So you should meet people in the same position. Any­thing else?

B: Yes. Don't apply for a job if you don't want it — be se­lective. If you go for an interview for a job you don't want — you are stupid. You won't get it.

A: Very true. What about friends and colleagues?

B: Yes, they can be very useful. Talk to them as often as possible. That's how I got my present job, I learned about it from my friend.
