Let's Start Here
January 22, 2002
You have had a cup of coffee and scanned the classifieds for any new job listings. You call and see how many interviews you can schedule. Now, you sit at your computer to see what might be helpful in your job search.
Well, here are a few suggestions:
1. If you are feeling a bit off, perhaps depressed or angry - check out this article by Martin Yates on the Career City site. The Emotional Costs. It is a straight forward reminder that changing jobs is hard.
2. Grab a notebook and begin keeping a log of your efforts. It is important to be able to look over your efforts on the days when you don't think you have done enough.
3. Track your time and set limits for the time spent on a task. This will help keep you from becoming sidetracked - an easy thing to do online.
4. Look at employment911.com and consider signing up for a free email account, save my jobs feature, resume posting, job search organizer and personal web calendar. The site has a wide array of interesting tools that might prove useful.(I did a job search for a writer in California and got 1147 jobs. I narrowed the search to San Francisco and ended up with 23 jobs.)
5. It is important to work on your job hunt. It is vital that you get out there and interview for jobs. Don't wait for them to call for you. Get on the phone and see about scheduling interviews. Remember: the more you interview, the better you get at it.
