Job Hunting takes time: View the job search as a marathon, rather than a sprint. Many Job Seekers are enthusiastic at the start of a job hunt, pouring hours into preparing their resume, scouring ads, and so on. Then, after a week or two, they’ve burned themselves out. Job searching can take, on average, one month for every $10,000 of anticipated income.
* Commit to investing a reasonable number of hours each week to the search.
* Use the times when your energy is highest for personal interaction like phone calls or face-to-face meetings. Take the other part of your day to work on your resume or surf the Internet for new leads. |
