The experience
of searching for
the second job is
very different from
the first time
around.

When talking to people about the journey to
their second job, something stood out: the
experience of it all. There was less excitement,
less cheerleading around them, more responsibility to make the right decision, and more to
consider. Are you willing to move out of state?
Are there more family members now who will
be affected by such a move? Are you willing to
move off campus? Are you willing to continue
living on campus? What are the benefits?
Also, consider the amount of time it takes:
revising your résumé, writing cover letters, and
scheduling interviews around the responsibilities of your current job. You may feel like you
don't have time to prepare for the search or
the interviews. Or you just flat out feel that the
journey seems daunting. No worries, though;
some seasoned experts came forward to share
their tips on what you should consider for this
journey. Read on, and you will be on your way
to that second job in no time.
The job and the employer must be a good fit for
you. Be honest about where you see yourself working, be it an international institution, a small private
campus, or a large public one. Really think through
where your skills and experience could benefit the
workplace and where you see yourself being the
most successful. As Brandon B. Barile, assistant
vice president for campus life and dean of student
engagement and conduct at Hobart and William
Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York, suggests, you
may be in your second position for a longer period
of time, so a good fit becomes even more important.
Be honest with yourself when you begin the job
search, and look for a position where you truly see
yourself succeeding. Also, "When getting ready for
the interviews, make sure you are asking questions
about the culture of the department and university,"
says Tim Leyson, assistant director of residential life
at Arizona State University in Tempe. The answers
gathered here will help you determine fit.
Be the best you can be in your current job. If you
aren't meeting benchmarks and goals now, then
chances are you need to stay where you are, hone
your skills, and then dive into the job market. Look
at your current position and fill in any blanks. Are
you shaky on budgeting skills or supervisory skills?
Then seek classes, workshops, or the solid advice
