Hunt or be Hunted – The Job Search Jungle
The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.
You are out for a walk in a National Park and suddenly you realize you are being stalked by an animal. You hear the sounds of branches snapping, some guttural growls but you dont really see what is hunting you. Sounds ominous, but it is a jungle out there (although you are not likely to be eaten in a job hunt). And, youve probably been on both sides of the job hunt (hunting and hunted). Being hunted is a nice position to be in, where people are seeking you while you are not seriously looking for a job. My rule of thumb, even if Im not looking for a job, is to always listen to the opportunity and, if you are interested, take it to its logical conclusion. You never know who you will meet and you never know how it will turn out. Of course, when you are on the job hunt, you are in control but you never know when you will land your trophy job. Todays post is all about being hunted, what you need to consider and how you should respond (scared yet?).
