On this topic i realized that one common job search challenge is staying motivated despite rejections. It can be discouraging however setting small goals, tailoring resume, and practicing interview skills can help. Networking and using job search strategies like SOLAR or PADMAN also can improve chances

Normalizing the emotional side of the job-search process as well as organizing, setting small, achievable goals, and using a support system along the way. Don’t forget the confidence in your skill set and readiness to be a trustworthy employee.

I find that I learn really well from acronyms, so I greatly appreciated the PADMAN (presentation, ability, dependability, motivation, attitude, network) and SOLAR (skill, outlook, look elsewhere, answer, resource) references. These resources allow a job seeker/offer seeker to truly examine how they are representing themselves to an employer to determine where the areas of growth are.

I have learned from this module that job searches are much more complex than people initially realize. It takes a lot of effort to do a job search and it gets harder the longer you have to wait. Using a job search tactic or writing out your goals for job searching is the best way to get it done.

In teaching about common job search challenges, I've learned that individuals often struggle with clarity in defining their career goals and finding suitable job opportunities. Crafting effective application materials and preparing for interviews can also be challenging. To address these issues, I intend to provide practical guidance, interactive activities, and resources such as resume templates and interview guides to help job seekers overcome these challenges and stay motivated throughout their job search journey.
