If you are looking for a job right now, you’re not alone. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, last month, 6.8 million Americans were not employed but looking to be. Many more people are in a job but interested in making a change: The Pew Research Center reported in 2022 that about one worker in five was either very likely or somewhat likely to look for a new job in the next six months. The good news is that with the unemployment rate at 4.1 percent, the labor market is strong. This means that if you are job hunting, you might have some choices. If that’s the case, the problem is not finding a job; it’s finding the job. The next step is to get it. In interviews, potential employers ask you a lot of questions about your habits, skills, and ambitions. Research suggests that what they might really be looking for is a gut feeling of enthusiasm about you. So you need to be good at eliciting those feelings. But the excitement needs to go both ways. |
