One of the greatest difficulties of this new age is finding a job. If you are a fresher or unemployed due to any reason, do you know how much you are spending on searching for a new job? It is a real challenge to find a job that not only meets your preferred role and industry, but also your requirements in terms of salary, location and many other factors. The question is how much time you should really spend for your job search.

1. For Fresher’s that are about to graduate

If you college doesn’t provide support for placements, this is the time you should start your job search. You need to spend almost 10 to 15 hours per week in terms of analysing the market, reviewing the types of roles matching your profile and interests, and identifying the companies that you are interested in. If is wise that you engage in the job search process at least for a couple of hours every day.

2. Unemployed Recently

It is hard to get rid of the feeling of being unemployed. Everyone desires for a stable job and a rewarding career. To achieve this, you need to take up the job search very seriously, and give at least 25 – 30 hours a week. This includes developing your professional network, building contacts, identifying matching opportunities and submitting your application. It will be helpful if you can chart out what you want to do the next day according to the time.

3. Want to Change Job

If you are the one unhappy with your current job and want to move to a better one, you need to put in at least 7 – 10 hours of job search per week. As you are already demotivated in your current job, your job search process will go quite well. Make sure the jobs you apply for are better than the current one as you may not want to switch your job to a more miserable one and later regret on switching.

4. Career Change

This is a big decision and will need a good amount of time and research. At least 7 to 9 hours a week are required to explore the new industry you want to move in. Before you take the plunge, make sure that you have thought about your decision and have no regrets in changing the career path. You will need to build the new skills required for the new career and take up tough measures to bring your skills on par with other job seekers in that industry.
