Have you ever seen pictures of a palm tree in the middle of a strong storm or tornado? It may be bent so far down that the top of the tree is almost touching the ground. Have you noticed that after the storm passes that the palm tree snaps right back into place, like nothing ever happened? Sure, it may be missing a few leaves from all the punishment, but it is still standing strong. It has actually grown stronger during the time it was being beaten down.
The palm tree has tenacity, and so should your job search. Job search tenacity is weathering the storm of time, energy, effort and maybe lost income while networking and prospecting for the career opportunity you know is out there. It is holding on firmly, being persistent and refusing to be knocked down – it’s snapping back upright when you have a bad day of job hunting.
There are going to be difficult periods during a job search. If you understand what employers are looking for, apply some good job search tips and know how to write a resume that sends the right message, then you will come out of each storm stronger, wiser and better off than you were before.
