A job seeker's mission is to find a job, right?

However, a job seeker fails when it is the ONLY thing they are doing?

Employersview the time a job seeker is out of work as an opportunity to keepworking and improving their skills, andincreasing the value of their professional worth.

If a jobseeker is just looking for a job, and three months go by, then the jobseeker is no longer viewed as valuable as much as his or hercompetitors who are teaching skills at the public library, volunteeringtime using some of their professional skills to charity, or yes, anunpaid internship.

The Wall Street Journal hired unemployedjob seekers in 2008-2009 to write about their experiences job hunting,filing for unemployment, networking, good and bad conversations, andentrepreneurship. All of them obtained jobs and good opportunities, butall of them were not idle.

A job seeker asa potential valued employee, must take steps, and succeed finding production.
