Below is why I recommend that you are always looking for your next opportunity. Always be interviewing.

You don’t have to accept a job offer if it isn’t a slam dunk improvement over your current situation. But it’s a good way to keep your options open.

Some data from a recent Harris poll:

  • 71% of those looking to switch jobs say the job search is more complicated than anticipated.

  • 63% say they’ve searched for a new job for over 6 months, and 48% report applying to more than 50 positions. 

  • 72% of job seekers say that companies are acting like they don’t want to hire anyone.

  • 66% say they regret not starting the search sooner.

  • 63% believe it would have been easier to switch jobs a year or two ago. 

  • 51% of job seekers agree that, at this point, they would take any job offer.
