5 Creative Responses to ‘How’s Your Job Search Going?’
When you’re on the hunt for a new job, you can’t escape that dreaded question. It pops up in texts, calls, and even casual conversations. Sometimes, it feels like the most annoying part of job searching is dealing with all the inquiries about your progress. Here are five responses I wish I could use:
- “I’ve got my eye on a pretty promising opportunity.”
This just means I stumbled across a job listing and sent my resume into the abyss, hoping for a reply. - “I seem to be a bit too qualified for many positions lately.”
That makes me sound super impressive, even though I’m still searching for work. - “I’ve been juggling a lot!”
Which translates to writing three cover letters, tweaking three resumes, and sending out one LinkedIn message—that’s my version of a busy day! - “I received a call today that could lead to something exciting.”
Sure, it was just a chat with an old coworker, but hey, you never know, right? - “I’m planning to line up some interviews soon.”
Who isn’t? It’s the hopeful mantra we all cling to.
Job hunting can be tough, especially when you’re navigating it in your 40s. Between sending out applications and scouring LinkedIn for connections at companies I’m interested in, I found myself reading countless articles on resume tweaks and interview tips (please, no more typos advice). Now that I’m back at work, I still find myself clicking on those articles—once a job seeker, always a job seeker, I guess.
