There are various perceptions about finding jobs.
Those who believe that finding the right job is about formula find that the neighbour who has the greener grass in his backyard is not likely to share the formula with them.
Those who believe that miracles rule successful job hunting also find that the guy next door is better blessed.
Those who see the hand of karma are least stressed. The wait and watch style in job hunting is relaxing as long as it does not become too long.
For most of us job-hunting is a dubious cocktail.
Perhaps what is shared by most job-seekers is the fact that jobs have to be caught and got.
Most of us are armed with lists of where to go and whom to ask which get taken out and dusted free of the cobwebs of the mind, on a need basis. Added to which are a few new things which others are using.
After all, what is the fuss when all one wants is the next best job?
Easier said than done, but jobs, like marriage, is about finding the right match. Unfortunately, finding the right match is not all there is to marriage.
Going beyond methodology implies that one discards tried and tested methodologies, or logical courses, in favor of creating something new. We favor following the herd, then trying to beat it by being the first at getting to greener pastures. Since everyone else has the same idea, we get hurt in the stampede.
Competing for jobs definitely means using a strategy that no one else has.
