How long should a job search take on average? The general rule of thumb is this: Expect one month of job search for every $10,000 of income you expect to earn. Therefore, if you’re expecting to earn an annual salary of $60,000, you should plan for a 6-month job search. Happy job hunting!

Think about a project you have worked on that made a difference or an organisational trick you implemented for your manager that saved them plenty of time.

I make an incredible salary so when I tell my husband and friends I want to explore other avenues, they think I'm crazy. I knew I didn’t want to job hunt for more than 6-9 months if I didn’t have to. And as I was working, job hunting and/or temping, I had to find other sources of happiness. 3) Have a strategy.

I am very happy with my position, responsibilities, opportunity for learning and the support from all my colleagues and managers, but there is always the idea of greener pastures and higher salaries lingering in the back of my mind. I am bilingual and have experience in financial analysis/reporting and database management.
