Why Apply for Your Own Position
Monday, February 8, 2010 15:40
What will you do if you see your own position on recruitment advertisement?
It is an embarrassing situation. How are you supposed to go on working with someone who tries to fire you? That will be awkward, isn’t it? How would you react? Will you walk away you’re your pride or reapply for your own job?
According to previous survey, it has been revealed that most people are reluctant to reapply for their own job when laid off. Two thirds of the people taking part in the survey indicated that they would begin to look for other jobs; and a third say they would try to focus on whatever new job was in the offer.
However, reapplying for the old job has many benefits over searching for a new one. For example, you like your job, right? That’s why you applied for it at the very first time. And you have got to learn more about it after working for a while. You know what the job is about. You don’t need to apply for some jobs which you are not sure if the work will actually fits the job description.
Secondly, for people who have been out of the jobs market for some time, job hunting can be very challenging and even frightening. The pressure would be lower when you are applying and interviewed within a familiar environment.
Besides, many employers will give workers support, advice and reassurance all the way through any restructuring program, as they want to avoid a slump in staff morale or an exodus. And it is of less risk to work with someone they have already known and been working with for a while.
