A top manager can remain unemployed for nine months without it hurting his or her career, according to telephone interviews with 150 senior executives by Robert Half Management Resources.
Robert Half gives these tips for the senior-level job-seeker:
Be flexible. You may not find a job that is an exact match with your previous work. Explore ways to apply your expertise in new areas.
Network effectively. Make sure your network includes people at varying experience levels as well as those outside your industry.
Know the company. The more you can uncover about a business’ strengths and weaknesses as well as its corporate culture, the better you can tailor your application.
Consider relocating. Be open to opportunities in other cities.
