Job hunting can feel like an endless loop of the same question: “How’s your job search going?” Whether it’s a text from a friend or a casual chat over coffee, it seems to pop up everywhere. And honestly, at times, it can be the most draining part of the process. Here’s what you might really want to say:
1. “I’ve got a hot lead!”
This usually means you’ve spotted a job listing that caught your eye and sent your resume into the great unknown.
2. “I’m just too qualified for most roles these days.”
This gives off a vibe of confidence and professionalism, even if you’re currently not employed.
3. “Oh, I’ve been super productive!”
In my world, that translates to tweaking a few resumes and crafting some cover letters—definitely counts as being busy, right?
4. “I had a conversation today that could turn into something.”
You might have just chatted with an old colleague about their kids, but who knows? It could lead to a new opportunity—or at least a playdate!
5. “I’m aiming to land some interviews soon!”
Honestly, who isn’t hoping for that?
Keep your upbeat responses to the casual inquirers and save the more candid thoughts for those who can handle your job search woes. When the right opportunity does come along (and it will!), you’ll finally be able to share an authentic update.
