The length of time to find a job can vary considerably.
Many factors are at play. Some people secure a job days after first submitting their application for a position. Others, it may take weeks or months to secure employment.
Factors such as:
– the economic climate;
– availability of jobs;
– competition from other job seekers applying for the same role;
– the strength of your job application and;
– the employer’s preferences.
But having your resume and cover letter written by a professional resume writer can and may significantly reduce the length of time in obtaining work, as both documents will be tailored and wordsmithed to market and promote your skills and experience.
