During your job search, sometimes even very early in, you may get discouraged with your progress. I talk with candidates almost daily who are frustrated with their search and have run out of ideas. It is difficult being a detective and marketing yourself to various positions at once though the payoff should be very rewarding!Being wanted by a company, getting an interview, receiving an offer etc. is very uplifting. Think to that feeling you get when you hear great news and hold onto it. Try to focus on securing lots of phone interviews and the rest will fall into place. If you are simply placing your resume on internet job boards and waiting for a call, you will get discouraged quickly. You have to search for new local jobs daily, make new personal contacts daily, network with new people plus your friends and co-workers to find the other 50% of the jobs out there.
I hear every day that a friend of a candidate has introduced them to a new company or their own boss, providing quick interviews and offers. Get some help, get outside and keep very active. You will succeed! If you are totally burnt out, give yourself a break for one day. Go to an amusement park and have some fun!
Till next time, Good Luck! Scott
