Don't get me wrong I am in the same boat of Shoulda-Woulda-Coulda. When the tasks seems daughting; I hear it all the time “I have to do it…. I’m going do it…”
Then I ask: When?! The job is out there. Don't let it pass you by. I've made a list of things you (and I) can do in job searching. As your friend and support system to that inner voice of yours. I am encouraging you (and me) to go out and keep looking!
Here’s you list of to do’s:
Baby step:
1. Look over resume and keep it "clean, short and sweet!"
(Have a cover letter too, include it.)
Big step:
2. Send out Resume via email or in person. Most are online these days.
3. Call back any companies you sent your resume to…
While waiting:
4. Network Network! Network!
This is not a bad thing, it only means pick up the phone and contacting people you know who have connections with things you need.
For the interview:
5. Be friendly with everyone.
6. Show your interest
7. Let them get a visual of you as a potential hire
8. Close the sale by selling yourself 100%
This is business and social etiquette
Create your attitude
9. Meaning you believe that you are and will be successful and will win
10. Don’t beat yourself down before you get a chance to fight
11. Keep pursing that job with fervor
Persevere and you will win. I know you can do it!!!
Whew! Didn't I need this right about now! I'm in the same boat, looking for work, and I hope that I can find something good for me really soon.
