Be Patient
Job searching is a process and it takes time like everything else. It's
easy to get frustrated when we don't get results right away, but stay
focused. Remind yourself that it may take longer than you think and more
importantly, you're worth it. Make realistic goals for yourself every
week and reward yourself for achieving them. No matter how much time you're
putting into it, you need to take a break. So when you achieve your weekly
goal, take some time off to regroup then start again fresh.
You are not your career
There is more to you than your 9-5. If you let your job
define you, you will end up feeling lost and empty when you don't have
one. You are a valuable person and you don't need a career to validate
you. It can be very difficult to separate yourself from your career, but
it will prove positive if you can. Think of yourself as an already complete
person who will be even happier with a satisfying career.
Of course there is nothing wrong with maintaining a great career that
enhances your life. Nevertheless, it can't be the only thing that makes
you you. If you get into a rut and you're feeling really down in the dumps,
take some time off. Job Searching is a full-time job and like every other
job, you will need a vacation now and then. Use your time to assess your
situation. Figure out how to work smarter-not harder.
Take yourself seriously
Make smart decisions about ads and occupations that sound like a good
match for you. It's never good to put all your eggs in one basket, but
make sure you're using your time wisely. Think of your job search as research
project. Set up goals, a plan of action, and a deadline in which you should
be done with your project.
Have a place to report to everyday. It can get depressing sitting in your
house day after day, especially if you're not getting your desired results
right away. Find a quiet place like a library where you can use all of
your materials and concentrate on your goals.
