When you’re on the hunt for a job, the question “How’s your job search going?” seems to pop up everywhere—over the phone, in texts, and during casual conversations. It can feel relentless, and honestly, it can be one of the most challenging parts of the entire process. I often wish I could respond with my true feelings, but instead, I muster up something a little more palatable. Here are five ways to make it sound like your job search is more promising than it may actually be:

  1. “I’m exploring some exciting opportunities!”
    This means you stumbled upon a job ad that caught your eye and sent your resume into the great unknown, hoping for a miracle.
  2. “I’m finding that I’m a bit overqualified for many positions.”
    This statement gives off an air of professionalism and importance, even if you’re currently unemployed.
  3. “I’ve been keeping quite busy!”
    I figured out that crafting three cover letters, tweaking three resumes, and reaching out to a couple of contacts on LinkedIn counts as busy work. It’s all about perspective, right?
  4. “I had a conversation today that could lead to something.”
    You might have simply chatted with an old colleague, but hey, it could lead to a playdate—or maybe even a job lead!
  5. “I’m looking to set up some interviews soon.”
    Who isn’t? Everyone is in the same boat, and it’s always good to stay hopeful.

In this journey, it’s best to keep your pessimistic thoughts to yourself and share a bit of optimism with those asking. When the right opportunity finally comes along—as it eventually does—you’ll have a legitimate answer instead of a fabricated one.
