By its very nature, a job search can be stressful. Hopes can be raised and dashed multiple times even within the same day. Maintaining a positive attitude is critical to help fuel your motivation to pursue an active, and ultimately successful, job search.
A job search plan is essential. Once you develop a plan, it it important to create - and stick to - a schedule. Finding a job can be a full-time job! Manage your time well. Recruit support to help you keep committed to your goal.
Make sure your resume and cover letter market you well. Practice your interviewing skills so you are well-prepared and confident. Build your network.The fact is that most jobs are filled by networking rather than online job sites. People hire people they know or are known by people they know. Your time is better spent in cultivating your contacts than by spending hours on online job searches.
One of the most important things you can do for yourself during your job search is to acknowledge your efforts. Your new job will come about as the result of effort on your part and many of these efforts will push you out of your comfort zone. Each day focus on achieving at least one key item and each day, congratulate yourself for completing that item.
I hope these tips and techniques will help fuel the success of your job search!
