Interestingly, there are individuals who can land a job in a relatively short period of time, and in a reversed manner, there are some who spend time longer in the unemployment department. Those who belong to the latter group tend to give up looking for a job equivalent to or higher than their old positions, struggle to find a new job, or when push comes to shove, just settle for a position inferior to the former. According to Gerberg, experience can attest to this trend: the longer people are without a job, the lesser effort they expend to seek a new one.

Recruitment specialist Robert J. Gerberg states that the key in keeping the drive to seek employment involves filling one’s schedule with activities geared toward that goal. For action-oriented individuals, being unemployed simply gives them more time to accomplish a list of things; for the not so active, Gerberg lists down these steps towards landing a new job:
• Getting the support of former employers;
• Developing and updating one’s resume, and continuously stocking up on new knowledge;
• Being innovative, and acquiring the services of a mentor, if needed; and
• Being proactive and maintaining a positive attitude.

Bob Gerberg emphasizes that a lot can be done to get oneself out of the unemployment line. Applicants must stay focused on getting a new job, and never settle for a position just to say that one has a new job.
