If you’re looking for an executive-level job, be prepared to invest time and effort to find your ideal next position. It could take a very long time. Being talented, educated, experienced, and reputable are important job-search assets. But even possessing all of these cannot guarantee that your job hunt will be a short one.
It takes significant effort to land the job that’s right for you researching, partnering with a trusted search firm, networking, and preparing for interviews, to name a few of many job-finding tasks. But there is an essential attribute that supports and augments all these efforts: perseverance. Without perseverance, many job hunters grow disenchanted, frustrated, and willing to settle for a lesser job than they deserve. Those who persevere will find satisfaction and success. But, it isn’t easy.
