Settling for second best won’t jump-start your job hunt in Hong Kong

 

I’m an architectural designer who has been unemployed for several months now and I’m beginning to feel frustrated. I have had several interviews, and a few second interviews, but have not got any further. In the past I’ve never had trouble getting jobs, but I’ve usually been employed at the time. I recently heard that unemployed jobseekers are less likely to be successful in getting jobs than those who are employed, so I’m wondering if I should just apply for positions that I’m less interested in and then look for something more suitable when I’ve returned to the workforce. Is this is a good strategy?
