Tip #2: Get out from behind your computer!

Spending hours searching the internet each day is NOT going to help you…in fact it causes overwhelm and can even make you feel depressed. It’s the least effective form of job searching so pick two or three other methods for getting your job search on track and leave the surfing behind for the time being.

Tip #3: Reconnect with people you know

This is an absolute MUST for moving forward! You must reach out and connect with past and present people you know, people you used to work with and even people that do business with you such as your realtor, your banker or your insurance rep (these people are especially helpful by the way if you are looking locally because they know tons of people and they value you as a client).

Tip #4: Stop worrying that you are bothering people!

I will share a secret with you. When you ask a networking contact for their expert opinion on your career goals, you are allowing them to speak from a place of expert status. And people LOVE to speak from this position of authority! So let them feel good about sharing what they know to help you and give them a call!
